Freshly tinted windows, washed and waxed.


Front windows 35% tint.


Rear and quarter windows 20% tint.


Nothing special here, just a little nylon hanging cup to hold my cell phone, ipod, etc...can you spot the NB logos that I photoshopped in?

Looking good!
What percentages do you have on the windows? I'm thinking of tinting mine.
Thanks.

[thorgipsy]

35% on Front Sides & 20% on Rear and Quarter windows.
As dark as legally allowed in my state.

OK, thanks. That gives me a good idea of what mine would look like. We can go 27% all around here in SC.

Great looking ride!! I really like your tint!! How did the tint turn out on the back window? Some time the defrost lines make it wierd, especially at night.

[thorgipsy]

I have not driven it at night yet since the tint was done.

My wife's Outlander emits a rainbow-like aura when the light hits it just right. It's kind of weird.

Looks good. The tint adds to the "blackness" and accentuates the contrast of the wheels.

Yeah, my wifes Mercedes back window was really hard to see through at night when cars got in behind. Very distracting, so we finally had the tint removed. I was curious if the NB window tint would do the same. I'm sure a lot has to do with the quality of the installation. Yours looks great!

Thanks Beetlescott. I like your (Air) Beetle. I used to own a '73 Transporter awhile back. It got me hooked on VW's.

And now the inevitable question...Cats or Cards fan?
(It's a Louisville tradition).

Nice lookin' ride! Can't wait to see the future of your Bug!

[dnyed]

Beautiful! I love it!

I see the Beetle in the candy in the center console & in the radio display! Did I miss any?!

There's one more faintly drawn on the Red Rubber Ball in white.
Good job on the rest!

[Mister]

Hi nice lokking!!!!

[thorgipsy]

Zuka needed a little organization.
Nothing too extravagant , I merely added a Thule Console Caddy. The pic is a stock photo.
It fits neatly between the passenger seat and the center console and holds my GiPSy, celly, etc...
