I'm going to tint mine, I like the stealthy look, hence I'm debadging and using very clean lines.

My former car in its glory days...

Please ignore my over the top stereo, this is when I was a little younger and was foolish... But this picture shows what the tint looks like from inside the car.


The tint was professionally done and was considered limo tint (although for different places I believe that can be different percentages). I honestly believe this is one of the best things I did for my car, it was reasonably cheap, looked awesome, kept tailergaters lights out of my eyes and hid my stereo system excellently. Would also be sweet if you are trying to hide a roll cage etc, like what I plan on doing with the same tinted glass on my widebody project!

That should give you an idea what 35% looks liek under different lighting conditions... Just remember if the glass on you car has a slight tint from the factory it will make the tint look darker on your car. The tint on my Cobralooks darker beause of this effect,

Branca, I love the stance your car has, do you have any suspension mods? What size wheels and tire info? Where can I find a spoiler like that?

That spoiler is the 3 piece wrap around. It's pretty common and you can find it almost anywear

After seeing Branca's car it really makes me want to say every FB should have tinted windows. My white one has tinted windows, and I think it looks really good. Branca's silver FB looks amazing with it. Tint those windows!

And ignore the Tornado Silver FB, it has no engine in it in these pics.

The pics are pretty old as well. My white FB has since had a touch of front fender damage, and an added "rx7club" sticker on the back hatch glass.

You know it's funny you mention the S. When I bought the car the guy said it was a "GS". Honestly, I didn't think much of it cause it was exactly what I was looking for considering my swap. My buddy says the same thing "WOW! an S.....". I guess it is..... For some reason I always think of non-GSL's as GS's. The old S just never pops in my head.....

Nice pics guys!
