nevermind the foilt fit perfect but....my window creases, if the window crease will the tint stay on?
Yes... Tint will stay just fine. To prevent further creasing, place something into the window as it folds onto itself. There are many options like a rolled up towel or a swimming "noddle" covered in a soft cotton fabric. I, myself use a door draft stopper which works great and cost $4.00

whew im done.......after 2 almunimum templstrd and 2 static templates she looks good! Would have been done quicker if i had great scissor skills but as I learned in 2nd greade I dont cutr well on the dotted lines

But wow she looks great!!! The tint makes the s2k look meaner with top up i got the 20% limo tint. No more crazy elbow grease or plexus or worrying about crap scrthcing my window!!!!

So Project august has started..........$3k of s2k items in one month....the first lil mod is done

Sounds good silver.

I'm thinking of tinting my car, but I drive with top down and windows up a lot and not sure if it would look weird or not.

Silver... Glad you got it complete and love it. Does it look like your looking through a fish bowl (hazy) when you look through your rear view mirror, or is it pretty clear? If hazy, give it a few days out in the sun. Once all the fluid dries, you'll get clearer. Limited bubles or quite a few?

You will still need to use plexus on that window, as well as the sides. Remember... all interior sides of your windows are now plastic. Do it every time you wash the car to keep it clear.

Let's see some pictures... I showed yo mine now you show me yours

yeh its not to bad, i do have bubbles like lil ones very not notcable but im a perfectionist so i squigied for maybe 1 hour then again for anotuher hour and they were still there.......yeh I probnab;y just need to let it dry. Also Xvi[er said to jsut use windex now? you still use plexus?? I used tons of windex and invisible glass on it...hmm ill try plexus later todysa when i wake up lol...

Yes i am on a modding spree See ya this sun twisted

I'm actually going to try to buy an ammo for my s2k. It has aftermarket headunit and aftermarket front speakers but if i try to turn volume on to high it distorts? an amp solves this?
