jrichard Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'd like to get some tint. 1. Can anyone recommend a good tint shop in the Sacramento or greater Bay Area? 2. Can you recommend a certain type or brand of tint. Dyed/non-dyed; Metallicized/non-metallicized; this brand v. that brand, etc. Also, do I need to worry about radar/laser detector or gps (inside antenna) effectiveness with particular types or brands? I know some of this has been covered in past threads, but I'm confused. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removal of the door panels is required but its basic and straight foward hope this helps and good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 New Question: I will not be racing my Shelby GT in competition but I would like to participate in track days. Do the tracks or clubs allow you to participate with tinted windows? I could see why they wouldn't and I will have to make a decision if they don't. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the tint interfere with the rear widow defroster in any way? Thanks, IAGT500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagerart Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have a black SGT. I did the rear windows and back window in 25% and the door windows in 35%. I am happy with the results but could have gone a little lighter with the same effect. A black interior makes the tint look darker than it is.
