Default A few questions

Okay so in a few weekends I'll be flushing out my coolant. My question is, is it best to go w/ green or orange? or yellow? since either can be mixed with yellow.

Also I've been thinkin about getting my side windows tinted. My back window is bubbling up badly and the tint has turned kinda purple. So I'll be trying to get that off but idk how successful i'll be. What's the best way to get this tint off and about how much would it cost just to get my side windows tinted? cuz I'm kinda low on cash and might even try the rear myself.

I've always used standard green dex.. but whatever you chose make sure it's what you want, once you choose you can't use the other without completely draining the block.

Alright then I'll probably just go with yellow so I have the option of putting in either green or orange if I ever need to put some more in.

What about tint tho? How much would it cost to get my side windows tinted tho? I'm just gonna rip that back tint off myself and not really care if I break the heating grid

i did my side windows myself when i bought my car. the tint that was on there before was a messed up. all i did was peeled off the tint and to get all the gooey residue left behind i got a towel and some GOO GONE. it takes a little while and some elbow grease to get that glue off but i found that to be the best way for me.

Sounds easy enough I took the tint off my side windows and it wasnt to bad I just peeled it off.

but how much can I expect to pay to get my side windows tinted? Or is it easy enough to tint yourself
