gofastguy Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Has anyone done a darker window tint on their black SGT? I am not generally a fan, but sometimes I look at mine and think it may just look real nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT/SC Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I am pretty sure that a bunch of us have. Roger (rosssvt) and I have. I think dave c, clink, and shelbypilot did too. Check my photobucket site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I do not have black and am usually not a fan of tint either, butI think it would look good on black. I would have to see white before I decided to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLShelby Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Tint is the first thing i do on all my vehicles. Helps the a/c with sun load in the day and reduces headlight glare from behind at night. Also gives the car a cleaner look imo. 5% on rear/quarter windows and 35% on door windows which is as dark as Mo. allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gofastguy Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks for the pics--think I will definitely go for it. Is it possible to do a quality job yourself, or do you need to take it somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo46LV8 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes, I have What percentage tint did you use all the way around? Whatever it is, its absolutely awesome and the same level of darkness I'd like to go for. I don't put enough miles/year on her to be too concerned with night time driving (...or the local laws... ) so that looks perfect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to do a quality job yourself, or do you need to take it somewhere? Definitely take it to professionals. I have attempted window tinting several times and could never get it to look as good as a professional job. Also, be sure to get a set of mole skins for the doors to keep the weather seals from scratching the tint when the windows go up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLShelby Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I agree, take it to a professional shop. I never had much luck either. Any good tinter will include the felt strips as not to scratch the tint. I had my wifes 06 GT tinted before anyone realized there was going to be a problem and hers has some scratches.

The funny thing about tint and pictures though, lighting angles can make the tint appear lighter or darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by a tinter that Ford started using felts again on the '08's. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I was told by a tinter that Ford started using felts again on the '08's. Can anyone confirm this? Yes they have. Prior to having my 07 tinted I purchased a set of interior felts for the 08. Make sure you do this prior to having any interior tint installed on any 07!

Romeo46LV8 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I believe it was 35%. The funny thing about tint and pictures though, lighting angles can make the tint appear lighter or darker. I guess that is very true. The one picture you have from the side posted above looks absolutely sinister (in a good way!) and is the look I'm going after. Guess I'll have to talk to my local shops to see what they say.

A good tint shop should have felts and they would replace the hard rubber pieces. But I ordered right from the local Ford Dealer parts department. Make sure they are the 08 Interior pieces. It took 2 days for them to arrive. I think they were $32 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Jim, I don't know how to post multiple pics to keep it under the 500 mb for the forum and I haven't quite mastered how to share pics on photobucket, when I do I'll post a link to my album. Any help from forum members would be appreciated. If you'd like me to e-mail you a few more PM me your e-mail address. Here's a couple more from the side.
