Tint or CAI, then calipers

Skemer · 04-22-2014, 11:41 PM

Tint

marcotheepolo · 04-23-2014, 12:33 AM

Not sure the black car with the black tints will look that great. Maybe I'm wrong

RobertRS · 04-23-2014, 12:35 AM

You ain't got them calipers painted yet?

iCamaro · 04-23-2014, 12:42 AM

Tint, caliper covers (just looks cleaner to me), CAI

thkfast · 04-23-2014, 01:40 AM

Tint now, then paint your calipers yourself this weekend for $19.

CAI can wait.

HerRide · 04-23-2014, 06:24 AM

Tint would be first for me.

Where can I get these caliper covers?

marcotheepolo · 04-23-2014, 10:33 AM

And what percent should I get on a black camaro? Don't want it to look too "hood" lol

SemperGumby · 04-23-2014, 10:40 AM

First thing I did with mine was tint. If you're going to be in the car for any amount of time during summer you want it to not be a boiler. And as far as % to go, that's really up to you and the lawman near you. Our legal limit is 35% all around, but that's not very dark

Given your location I would save up a little longer & get Huper Optic Nano fusion Ceramic tint including the clear on the windshield. It keeps a lot of the heat, UVA & UVB out of your car & protects that interior as well as making it much more comfortable to get in the car in hot weater. Then oil catch can, CAI, I ported throttle body. IMHO

I 2nd the Huper Optik, it's a bit pricier but very worth it. Just make sure you get someone who knows how to install it, it's thicker than regular tint and requires a bit more finesse than just cutting and placing.
