To re-tint or not to re-tint????

[JHarris1385]

Need some opinions. I never have been a fan of the mirror tint untill I bought this VX with it on already. It has grown on me. But on the other hand I really dig the black/white contrast and this throws it off a bit.

So I have been thinking of stripping the mirror tint and re-tinting it with limo tint to give more of that contrast and to match the black border on the rear windows.

But I thought I would ask for your opinion OR if anyone out there could photoshop it for me so I can get a better picture of what it would look like.

Here are a few pics. Old ones though

I could not get the second image to insert in large original format.

If anyone has the time a photoshop version of limo tint would be nice.....

You don't need a Photoshop version, really. Just go with black limo tint. Not only will it look a MILLION times better on your B&W Ironman, but I never liked mirrored tint anyway.

Just my opinion.

re-tint. JMO.

-biju.

I vote for the black tint, it hides the black borders around the windows for a solid look.
I had mine replaced and removing the old tint is easy if they steam them.

[PHO2GR4]

What Bulldoggie said!

I forgot to mention those black window borders, and IMO the profile looks a lot smoother w/o those black borders.

[JHarris1385]

Yeah that is what has bugged me the most.

Since this picture I have taken off those rubber caps on the edge of the door seen in the picture as a black line at the seam.
Also I forgot to look more closely in the gallery but does everyone else have pin stripes?? something else the original owner did.

[etlsport]

nope, no standard pinstripes.. id like a nice one thouugh... i agree with everyone else here as well.. ditch the mirror tint and go with the limo tint!

[JHarris1385]

Its an odd mirror tint. It only looks like above when the sun is shining on it. Otherwise it looks charcoal. Yeah Im going to ditch it I want more black/white contrast. Just wonder how much an unstall install job will be. Plus I need the bar on the windsheild too.

Since this pic I have also put back on the 20's, painted the grill white, got VXR in there, painted the screws metallic silver....and thinking about ditching the 3.5L

[Bulldoggie]

They removed the stock tint and did the rear 5 windows for $115 for me.

That's a shot of mine for comaprison. My VX had the tint job already when I bought so I don't know of a cost. It's a NICE tint job though and it has the windshield strip.
It will look a whole lot nicer in a couple weeks too, with my new black wheels!

[JHarris1385]

Thats exactally what I needed to see. Even better would be a pic with the new wheels. I am thinking about getting some new all black ones. Not sure which ones or how big. But I do know I want more aggresive of a tire.

[Ascinder]

Here's another black tinted shot. I don't know how dark it is since it was tinted when I got it, not quite limo for sure,but it is like yours: lifted and with more aggressive tires. Not everyone is a fan of the rims, but I love 'em.

Almost two years later............

I finally got a tj (tint job).

$300 bucks later - I could not be happier.

I will post pictures are some point. It looks hella better.

I need to re-do my tint. I've made a real mess of it over the last year or so hauling stuff in my VX.
