Tint G2G!!!!11!!one!111 pics galore! - Focaljet

**zetecgt** · 05-13-2008, 09:28 AM

Well, this past weekend, we had a little tint G2G over at the in-laws...since they have a garage.

I know most of you don't realize that I own 2 focus' because I have never posted any pics of my white ZX5. This will be the first time

Robert (Sanzx360) also showed up to have his windows done....but....on with the pics!

Oh, and Please excuse the dirty cars. We all have been way too busy to even worry about washing them...

Before the tint on Sanzx360's car:

Shrinking the back window:

Getting the roll-ups all fixed up:

And.....after the tinting is completed.....SO MUCH BETTER!!!

The one in the middle is my other focus that my (new) wife drives. Notice the crack in the front bumper.....

I've got a new bumper for it....but I just don't know when I'll have time to get it on there....

30% in the front 15% in the back:

I have 15% all the way around:

the "before" on my ZX5:

and....afters:

Thanks for looking!

dave.

Lookin good!

What brand is that? Llumar?

I usually don't like to different shades on the sides, but it blends nicely.

Looks like I've got some learning to do, I thought the tint was supposed to go on the inside or the outside, not both.

**njsvtdude** · 05-13-2008, 10:07 AM

it not, you put it on the outside so you can get it to shape up and cut it, then apply on the inside, much easier this way

**Phacade** · 05-13-2008, 11:09 AM

I was thinking the same thing. Well done! Reminds me I need to go get a tint job done on my beast.

**polarisman14** · 05-13-2008, 11:25 AM

Touche salesman. Thanks for the clarification.

yeah, it's Llumar.

I did the 30/15 because we don't want any tickets.....

They usually don't hassle you around Texas because it gets so damn hot, but every now and then you'll get that one ******* cop.....

Damn, I wish I lived closer. Not only do I have dents, but I'd like to limo tint the back windows of the Vic, too.

**1svt4u2c** · 05-13-2008, 12:17 PM

Looks nice dave! Good work. Like said above, I wish I was closer also! Oh well, at least I can admire your good work here.

-Matt

p.s. congrats with getting married!

I need a re tint, wanna come to indiana?

**Kal El** · 05-13-2008, 12:58 PM

nice job

**98LowRanger** · 05-13-2008, 02:19 PM

Good job Dave!!! I had no idea that you could do window tinting. After reading the last few posts it looks like you could spend a few months on the road going around the US tinting Focaljet members cars...haha. I didn't know that your wife also had a Focus. Any plans for that one? Did you ever decide on some wheels for yours??

Hey Mark!

Yeah, we've had that white one since we lived in NC.

We've got no plans for the ZX5. She uses it to get to and from work...and that's about it.

It's only got about 60,000 miles on it.....while mine has 85,000.

I'd like to spend time going across the country working on cars, but I couldn't stand to live in hotel rooms...

That's why I'm not out there chasing hail every hail season....

As for wheels, yes, I have some picked out, but I'm making sure they are exactly what I want.

**ptruong** · 05-13-2008, 04:15 PM

**slverfocus13** · 05-13-2008, 04:45 PM

**Osiris** · 05-13-2008, 04:45 PM

Dave..to stray off subject for a min.....how long does it take to do 2 windows? Ive got this grand caravan that needs the front windows done. I will be passing thru el paso on i-10 on my way to san diego sometime between saturday and tuesday (24th thru 27th). would you consider slapping some on it if i buy the materials and bring jager bombs?

**aggiefocus2007** · 05-13-2008, 08:32 PM

It may be possible to reach maximum speed around a given corner in a given car, but there are thousands of corners and many cars, as well as varying surfaces and conditions. This impossibility of reaching perfection gives one much scope for improvement. I always feel that motor racing is like chasing the rainbow's end, for the more one learns or the nearer one gets to the end, the further it draws away. It is this never disappearing goal which one strives for that makes it the most fascinating of all sports. - Stirling Moss On why motor racing is an art.
