Tinted Windows? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does the back and 2 small windows come from the factory with tint? or even the passenger and driver side window come with a little tint?

ArcAngel · 01-24-2009, 01:31 PM

doesnt matter im blacking it out!

EllwynX · 01-24-2009, 02:23 PM

I doubt it.

I'll probably tint them some. But not too dark. It's too difficult to see out of at night when they're too dark.

Besides, even if they're not tinted THAT dark, having them all tinted makes them appear even darker because less light is coming through the other side. You can still see, but they look darker than they really are.

Speaking of tinted windows and I dont mean to

. Maybe a current Mustang owner knows the answere to this, but the Camaro has auto indexing windows. So how do you tint these. It seems like you would have to disconect the battery and wait a day or two to drive it. Maybe there will be a fuse we can pull.

Yeah, blacking out isn't safe at all, and in many places illegal. I'll be doing a medium-light tint in back and the rear quarter windows. The front side windows I believe are illegal to tint in California, but if you go a light enough shade (and I'd go really light) next to the darker tint in the rear, no one will notice, so I can probably get away with that.

my mustang has tinted windows and I had no problem with the window opening and closing when I shut or opened the door... it didn't mess up the tint at all

Standard tint all around. Very subtle.

From Corvette experience, the trick is:

You open the door and flip the latch mechanism to trick the window into going up the rest of the way.

What the hell are 'auto indexing' windows?

I learn so much here.

Txturbo · 01-24-2009, 07:19 PM

When you open the door the window rolls down slightly. when you shut the door the window rolls back up.

the windows are suppose to stay up for a couple of days after you get them tinted, so it doesnt wreck the finish.

as for tinting that comes with the car, in a bunch of the car show pictures the windows seem to be slightly tinted already, it could just be the lighting from the ceiling into a dark interior but confirmation would be nice

I can't own a vehicle without tinting the windows here in South Carolina.

Actually Stovt you must let at least 70% of the light in. So you can tint up to 30% darkness, in California that is.
