i got the windows tinted today, 15% on the back window. i can kinda see enough out the back until it gets dark outside. the tint has really made it stand out better.. and the most important thing, and all that matters to me is when i walked back about 3 car lengths away i could still read the phone number and web address. there was a guy taking a picture of it with his phone at the red light on the way home tonight. lol. probally gonna end up in a "look at that hack thread" on some internet lawn forum. hehe

Oh, cool. That turned out pretty good.

I'm not wild about the white, BUT it is impossible too not see it.

LOL at the picture taking.
I have "Take a Card" holders on the side of my truck and while at a red light one day, I saw (side mirror) a guy in the next lane hop out the passenger side, and run up and grab a card! I was going to "condition red" at first - "WTF is this guy running up on me?!!!" He just wanted a business card! Haha


On a side note, my own vinyl arrived in the mail today. Gonna try and install it this weekend.

On topic:
Once I get the vinyl applied it will make the card holders even more effective.

i think the white will look better when i do what i'd like to do around the rest of the truck. i'm open to any suggestions other than the white, because i had no idea what to pic. that looked about the best of everything i tried. i had invisioned a grass background, but it takes away from the whole thing.

thats funny about the biz cards.

i'm very interested to see how your vinyl stuff turns out. I watched the guy install the back window yesterday, it looked fairly easy.. next time i may try myself to save 75 bucks.

I applied it yesterday.

For the most part it was easy. I did screw up one section slightly, but from ten feet away you can't tell. I plan on ordering more for the side windows, so maybe I'll have that part re-cut and replace it.

I'll probably toss up the install pics somewhere, but this is your thread, so I'll just show you the end result as requested...
