Still making a list of lil projects for my vtr, the lowered look will be done next tues 50/50 all round but now thinking of getting my rear window and back sides a lil tinted but not sure, my vtr's pretty simple, all black, clean, and has vts wheels on but wondered whether tinting the windows is a good idea..nixy

I personally think tints look good :y: But at the end of the day it is down to personal preference! :bored:

I loved my tints when i first got them.
But looking at some of the other saxos on here look much "cleaner" with them.

Still like mine though.
Id just do the back 3 windows though

Aw ye I'd just do the back 3, if I do them all it'll look dodgey wana do it up but I want it looking clean and neat.

Lol! I aint hiding just snazzing it up a bit, but I prob won't end up tinting it...and I thought those were tricky to put in? The bfs got 1 in his s13 and it took him a while to put in

The rear quarters are easy to do yourself, you just take them off and do it on the kitchen table, thats what i did haha. The rear window is a pain in the arse though, i'd pay a pro to do it for you.
Dark tint or limo black looks best on a black saxo :y:

Ohh okay thanks for the input, prob won't attempt it tho yet, still debating as I keep changing my mind lol

It looks good when done properly, if done yourself it can look ok if your gd at it, but if not defo looks tacky.

Nixy
20th March 2010, 14:52
Haha yeah I don't think I'd attempt it myself it will end in disaster for me I think? Think I just need to research it more and have a look around
