i heard from lots of people tinting the windshield will creat a hard surface in the event your face smashes the windshield or you go through it. like you would normally go through it as a safty feature, but the tint stops you = your face smashed way worse. killing you more than likely. going through it is probably no fun but id take that over the face smash.

when people say flat black they usually mean satin. satin has some shine but no gloss. like on rob and big. his car was satin. flat looks like straight primer.

First off let me say that I really dig the shaved bird!

I dont however like all black with black rims unless its a matt or flat black. Dull tires dont do it for me. But I have an obesession with tire shine ;x

I dont like dull tires ether dude, but at the same time i cant stand when they are soaked with armorall. I put on the tire **** the night before so it would be dry the next day, thats just how i roll.

Thanks for the compliment. Would you guys be interested in buying a shaved front plate cover? I might start making them...Just a idea.

That is completely incorrect. Windshields are made with laminated safety glass, two sheets of glass sandwiching a sheet of clear plastic between them. I can assure you that sheet of plastic is far more durable than any layer of tint you may put on the windshield.

To be 100% honest, i dont upkeep the paint that well. Its all been done within the last year, and most of the time i use windex and a micro fiber towel, thats about it. Thanks dude.

Semper Fi guys! Sorry bout the delay as I haven't been on much. Tomorrow I'll park my 02 Firebird (WITH TINTED WINDSHIELD) next to my 00 Trans Am (WITHOUT TINTED WINDSHIELD) so there'll be a side-by-side comparison. Both have the side and rear windows tinted. Again, sorry for the delay.

On a side note: I'm trying to re-enter the Corps into the MOS of 0211 Counter Intel (formerly 0811 Artillery). Re-enlistment bonus of $90,000 for E-5 Sgt and above! Watch the aftermarket fly on my project Trans Am then!!

Looks great. I've been wanting to do that to mine. I started working on the license plate cover last year and only recently got it painted: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...n-blended.html I am thinking about reproducing it myself for all the people in need... 6LE's fiberglass guy has mine right now, and if he doesn't make a mold then I will, now that I have a good idea how to create fiberglass molds. I've been wanting to get into making molds for a while now and the front plate was good motivation.

How did you do the drivers side headlight cover?

What filler did you use for the rear bumper?
