Default Window tinting questions

Is it possible to tint the rear window? Has anyone done it and are there pictures of the results. Thanks.

The glass one on the '02? Yeah, sure. Got mine done and it looks fine. The plastic one? Hellifiknow.

It is possible to tint the rear plastic window, which I assume you have. I can't remember the details on the top of my head, but try doing a search on static tint. People have bought it from pepboys/wal-mart? and successfully tinted the rear window.

Tinted my rear plastic window with static limo tint. No problems in over a year. Easy to do it yourself.

Yep, static cling window tint. Works real good. When it's all scratched up, just replace it with a new sheet. Fastest and cheapest way to a new clear rear window (if you have the plastic one that is).

Thanks Guys, I apreciate the responses. Do most window tint shops provide the static window tint and will it match up with the regular window tint?

I recall some of the guys in the States found theirs at Home Depot. As for matching, that depends on which level of tint you're talking about. The static cling tint I used came in 2 levels of tint. I chose the lighter one.

Anyone tinted their hardtop window? I think Asif has it tinted.
