BLUE TINTED 8s

Hey everyone I am considering tinting my blue 8 gt pkg spoiler 6 spd rotary accents. The place here in town that does very good works wants about $215 to do it and I just think that is a little high so I wanted to see pics of others to help make up my mind.

THANKS!!!

that is a ripoff for sure....i would shop around for something in the 150 range.....wouldnt pay any more than that. this car doesnt have all that much window space that needs to be tinted.

Hey cwilliams3,

I got mine done for $150, tax & all, with 5%, really good quality tint, and, of course... no receipt since them giving me one is proof that they tinted my windows to illegal point.

Anyways, I would also suggest looking for a shop with a cheaper price. If you are getting your tint at a legal %'age, then I am sure most any shop will replace any bubbled, or other problem areas.

For pictures, mine is black, with 5%, but you can see a pic here:

I am mostly interested in seeing how the Blue 8's look tinted (NOT WITH BLUE TINT!) I was looking for something between 20-30%...anyone have pics they can post so I can see how it looks?

THANKS!!!

Well, it's not and RX-8, and I'm generally opposed to colored tint, but damn I thought this looked good...

Nah, windows were up... I think it could have been a combination of the angle and lighting or whatever..and the view being what it would look like from the inside, which would generally appear lighter than viewing the window from the outside...i think?
