…my mustang needs new tint cuz it looks like shit. It’s starting to peel away which doesn’t completely break my heart since it is IMPOSSIBLE to see out of at night. So basically, the car gets driven in the day, during the summer, when it’s not raining and that’s it… GAY. I’d like to find somewhere to replace the windows with tinted glass… anyone know where I can get this done?? ---

mirrored tint?? what percent is it? and the people that you’ve seen all have shitty tint applied by idiots. quality tint applied by a competent human lasts a while before turning purple or peeling or killing people ---

lol I’ve never seen tint kill someone, but the thought of it killing someone makes me think of window lickers and makes me chuckle. :haha Or maybe the dumb kids who used to eat lead paint chips… _shrugs_ Thanks btw for that site, I checked them out and I’ll probably give them a call when I get my car back on the road when the weather clears. I’m not sure what the grade is, all I know it it’s really dark and it’s definitely not legal. lol And my car’s an 89’, the tint has probably been on it for quite some time now. It’s in relatively good condition, but it bugs me that I know there are flaws in it whether other people see it or not. ---

I know how the cops are up here with tint, so I don’t drive anywhere in that car unless the windows are down… which is another reason why I don’t drive it in the rain. Yeah, I can imagine how obnoxious mirrored tint could be when it’s blinding you while you’re driving past. lol But remember… I bought the car AS IS, I’ve done NOTHING to it except put an air freshener into it. lol ---
