It'll look good But, are you planning on doing the lettering with tint films? or just want to put the lettering under the tint? Or just wanted to know about the lettering and how it would make your soon to be tinted car look? Either way.. Contour front- Svt back. By the way, how dark are you tinting? 1998 SE Sport MTX Dark Green Pearl 18" Velox Scythes 35% Tinted Around 3inch Cone Filter Removed : Muffler ====================== Jeremy

I have paid 2 $90 tickets for window tinting. The michigan law is you can only have tint on the front 2 windows if its 4 inches from each corner, meaning you would have the whole middle of the window untinted. That looks like shyt IMO, so my advice is to go with about 50% tint on the front 2 and limo on the back 3. 99 Blk SE Sport 2.5 CD4E Euro Focus SVT Wheels 5 % tint Mesh Grilles w/indiglo ford KKM intake filter FMS 9mm wires Superchip Signal mirrors Fog lamp mod Dingless A6 sidemarkers Duals SVT springs/struts

I was just wondering since you had mentioned something about a translucent ford symbol in the rear window. I would suggest vhynl (sp?) lettering. I know that around here, there are places that will do custom logos and lettering if you tell them, or ---> show <--- them what you want Here's a picture of my contour.. photoshopped letters of course.. but still kinda gives you an idea of what I was thinking. My car is tinted at 35% all the way around.. excluding the front. 1998 SE Sport MTX Dark Green Pearl 18" Velox Scythes 35% Tinted Around 3inch Cone Filter Removed : Muffler ====================== Jeremy

In VA you're supposed to have 50% on the fronts and no darker than 35% on the backs.. but I went 35% all around because I just don't like the look of the split tints.. so my opinion is no, don't do it that way.. but I don't know what your tint laws are so..shrug I would just do 35% all around if you were going to do the fronts like mine. All one shade makes the car look cleaner and plus if you go much darker, I hear of folks having trouble seeing out the back at night. It's pretty dark out the back now trying to back up at night. 1998 SE Sport MTX Dark Green Pearl 18" Velox Scythes 35% Tinted Around 3inch Cone Filter Removed : Muffler ====================== Jeremy
