Could you spring for some custom Air Brushing? You can get pretty much whatever you like then, Manga Cartoon, Flames, your own face, anything that you can imagine.
It's far from 'Cheap' though. Personally I don't like vinyl graphics.

yeah im not really either im talkin like painted on ones but not to the extent of airbrushing because yeah u said it.. it is expensive i might get ghost flames in normal flames

I do air brushing. Not professionally though! I dojn't fancy travelling to AB though. I don't have the patience to do anything other then tears, flames, splashes and the likes, characters take too much time for me!

What state do you live in that it is leagal for the tint to be on the front window?

Or otherwise, what percent is the tint on the front window?

i have a 94 cavalier and all i did was put two little chevy symbols on the little windows and a huge silver chevy symbol on the back window and it looks real nice.

Thanks bud.

AB is gonna be like uber-expensive, and for windows I wouldnt recommend it, especially in an environment where you will be using an ice scraper extensively. If you want to go the decal route, I would suggest something subtle. Buy a part from somewhere and get a banner from that business.

It is Illegal in Illinois to tint the front windows, unless you have some werid vision problem, and a doctor's note. But I heard that they can not pull you over for just that... but thats is what I heard.

noshun · #12 08-11-2005, 10:53 PM

err ok

z24 fanatic · #13 08-18-2005, 05:25 AM

i think it looks good although i have to admit cavaliers look good w/ nothing on their windshield im actually torn between leaving it on or tearing it off but that guy in the link has a good store and he can do the decals anyway you like colors wise i mean

Here is a list of states as well as the laws for that state. Many states don't allow tint on the front windows and/or windshields. I beleive all states allow the 30% factory tint that is a federal standard but IANAL. I would bet that many states don't actively enfore it other then when a cop wants to throw a book at you. At least that is the way it is here in Indiana.
