Tinted Convertible
Got my Mineral Grey Vert tinted last week. Turned out real nice - It was a bit steep, but got the felt installed, all the windows done, and a custom graphic on the rear windows.....
Now I just need to wait for my wheels to arrive (the wheels are in, but not the rubber)
I'll probably be getting the headrests embroidered in the next couple of weeks too..
.. Now just got to convince the wife that some go fast parts or lowering springs are in order.

RE: Tinted Convertible
Thanks! - I'm really pleased with it.
It's 20% - the lowest legal tint here in Washington. When I first saw it, I was thinking it wasn't that dark, but it's just about right (for me)... Definetly is nice at night, cuts down on the glare of headlights behind you.
The Pony logo is in Grey vinyl and is under the tint between it and the glass.

W1ldcat - Thanks! I know what you mean, I have my top down as much as possible.
One thing I noticed today was that it seemed to help the AC keep the car cooler when I did have the top up. Makes sense as it's it's blocking UV also.
It's nice too on long road trips - don't get me wrong, I LOVE driving with the top down, but after 5 hours on the freeway with the sun beating down on you, sometimes you NEED to put the top up and crank the AC..... Yes, I have been sunburned driving my car.... We always carry sunscreen in the car now.. haha.
I'll be posting better pics of the car late next week after the wheels get put on.

RE: Tinted Convertible
Glad you got the felt. I had mine done a few weeks ago and already I have a nice scrape right down the middle of the passenger side window. You can't really see it from the outside but you sure can when you're inside the car. I had just bought it a month ago or so and hadn't read about the issues with the felt at the time
