Tinted Windows

Heres one.
Unfortunately this owner didn't realize the quarter window wasn't tinted until I sent him this pic. The quarter window on the other side is tinted.
This is probably a little dark to be legal in our area so check what is legal to make sure your not asking for a ticket

Any pics out there of Panteras with tinted glass?

When I purchased 2511, it had a fairly dark sheet tinting on all the windows.

As I was regularly driving home from the PCNC meetings at night, 153 miles, I soon realized my night time mirror view was seriously compromised by the side window tinting - my side rear views were just about worthless at night.

So I pulled off the tinting on those windows.

Much better.

Some time later, I started thinking my tinted rear window was also a serious hindrance to my rear view. So I pulled off that tinting also.

Made a world of difference, BIG difference. Realize the rear glass is fully tucked under the roof line and thus will almost always never get any direct sunlight/heat.

If you want to try tinting, I would advise to NOT put any on your rear window. And do a fair evaluation on your quality of rear view if you add to the side windows.

I jokingly often say - Whatsa behinda me is not important - but in reality it is important.

If I tint my rear window I won't my carbs working !!

I will have to evaluate the vision issue, will probably take that temporary stick on tint and try it for a night or two just to see.

Will also have to notice just how much I actually use the rear window. For some unknown reason the only time I recall using that mirror was to check for flashing blue lights behind me.

I have my windows tinted, it is pretty much a necessity in Florida. There is no reason or need to tint the back window, to the engine compartment. As far as night driving most times the windows are down

Thanks, yes it does help, I'm afraid I am not too good at visualizing, pics help me a lot. I'm courious, is your front window tinted?

Angelo,

Yes, my front windows are tinted too. I purchase my car with all of the windows tinted the same. The police in Maryland have never stopped me about my windows or lack of front license plate. They have howevever stopped me just to look at it and ask questions...

I guess I should have said "my front window is tinted too" since there's only one front window

Front windows are strictly forbidden in Florida except for the top 3 - 4 inches.

Angelo how long have you been in Lake Worth? My wife and I were down there in April for her high school reunion. Lake Worth H.S. Class of 73

Been down here off and on since around 1959 I guess. I went to Leonard class of 72, have an ex from Lake Worth which I attended in 71. My parents moved around a lot and I actually do not recall going to the same school for more than one year. Glad I did not do that to my kids.

I DID tint my 64 Vette front window completely but not for the darkness but for the UV and glare protection, you would actually have to look closely to even see the tint from the outside.

One product I would like to see would be a tint that fades like the factory stripe only darker. I don't like the sharp line of the 4" strip at mirror height across the windshield. Oh well.

Thanks for the 73 reminder (pre I-95 traffic jams)

Angelo
