Correct. But the windshield and rear window are out of it.

I think 20% rear and corners and 35% front driver and passenger windows is the magic bullet on the camaros. No one knew I had "only 35%" on the front of the bee, because it was so dark when you were looking at it. 35% seems a lot ligher on a truck for example, but because of the shape of the windows, you don't get a lot of pass through light. So during the day, it looks just as good as 20/20 and no one can tell a difference, but at night I didn't have to roll down the window to see the mirrors, and I didn't have trouble seeing out the sides. Ive driven camaros with a few different tint set ups and by far the 35% front and 20% rear wins hand down. 20/20 isnt too bad but it can be hard to backup at night and just starts to get dangerous on the highway at times. anything less than 15/20 and your playing with fire, plus just asking to get pulled over, but then again I always put safety > Looks now that I've gotten a little older and more mature.

2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)

That's the set up I was thinking after all the comments here and seeing some pics. My only concern was would it look funny with the side windows being different, but you cleared that up I think!

I have the "ohio legal" 50% on my truck and its looks pretty dark on the outside, inside you can't even tell that I have the windows tinted. Must just be the shape of my windows because it looks like its darker than it really is...Im not sure what we are gonna put on the camaro though

Saw a black SS with the GM GFX, blacked out tailights, black rear bowtie and rear window louvers in the Florence/Burlington, KY, area this afternon turning right onto Limaburg Road off of KY 18. Was that anyone on here? Very nice looking car but, truth be told, I was kind of hoping I had the only black SS with the GM GFX in this immediate area.

I don't think its anyone here. I don't see very many with the GM GFX in this area.

How is the family settling in at home with the new Haus in the house? (I love saying that!) I hope you and K are getting some sleep.

Things are good. I've been working on my bathroom project. Now I am waiting for the primer to dry, then time to paint. I have a little over a week to get it done!

Will is doing great. We get a good bit of sleep, just not hours in a row

I am betting she will bring him to mod day whenever we get it scheduled. I have stuff to do to the Camaro and I am likely ordering a spoiler for the Honda so we will have to install that too. If she and Will want to come, they won't fit in the Camaro with the driveshaft, so we'd need two cars anyhow. Then, if she wants to bounce, she can.

Is it permitted to work on Hondas at the Heinz shop?

I look forward to see you, Kristen, and Will. Might as well put a wrench in his hand at a young age and get him used to it.

I hope Doug doesn't mind a Honda at the shop. I'll be driving my Toyota that day (although I don't think we'll be modding it).
