      tinted the windows this weekend

      hey guys, i've been away for a while now, i've been busy trying to keep my family together but theres nothing to do, wife and i are separated and will divorce soon, but at least i will have my aveo.

      so here are some pictures of the car after it was done, i paid like $28 fof the whole kit from ebay, they are laser cut and came with all 4 doors,2 back sections and big rear, i even had enough to tint my mirrors!!! rear doors are %20 and fronts are %50, i dont need the front too dark because the backseat is where all the action is gonna take place.

      not bad for the price
      Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, rather than drive a fast car slow!

      When you do a curved back window again in the future heat from the outside with a heat gun and use massive amounts of soapy water on all the windows when you are squeegying out all the bubbles. I've done my fair share of windows and I dont claim to be great but I can tell you as you know now yourself-it is harder than it looks. Not bad for a first attempt. Better than fish-bowlin' it like me. :P

      yeah the rear window does look crappy, the other ones i can live with, but i didnt know about the heat gun thing, i will consider that next time.

      It's also easier to smooth out if your slit the tint over the top of your orange defrost wires.

      Sorry to hear about the family trouble bud, but the tint looks damn good for the first time! I've redone mine over and over and over and it's tough.... very tough. I couldn't do my back window by myself so I had to get a friend that is really good at tinting to do it for me.. Looks good though

      OH! And good luck in the back seat of an aveo. Don't even try it. Listen, get the girl on the passenger seat, lean it all the way back and scoot it all the way back and get on top, make her spread em'! good luck! Take my advice. lol

      not too shabs.
      This reminds me, I really need to stop being soo lazy and retint my rear driver side door window. Since that was the first one I attempted it didnt go as smoothly as the others and as a result has a couple lines in the tint. I probably should have redid that before tinting the hatch, because once I did that I just said, thats it for tinting. It wasn't all that difficult it just takes patience, which is something I don't have, at all.
