Seriously wait til its not there, and then go there and ask why it ISNT there.

Or if theyre closed when they take the car out, go there anyway and wait for them to come back, be ready with a camera.

well I guess my friend was wrong.  Or they diconected the speedo before they took it out, (which I highly doubt)  The car is no worse for wear and They did a decent job on the tint.  Just took them 2  days to do it.  I am really glad it turned out that they didn't do it, so I guess there is another white cougar in town with loud exhaust that I will be watching for.

So how well does your friend know cars? Maybe they saw a *gulp* '80s Monte Carlo.

Glad to hear it wasn't your car. So where are the pics of this 2-day tint job? :D

LOL... Years ago, my ex said she out ran a yellow Dodge with the Cobra Jet... I find out a few days later it was a '73 Grand Torino that belonged to a freind of a freind of a freind... According to the "official report"(from the second freind) she cleaned his clock... But even a 351 Cleveland with a C6 didn't have much chance against a 428 & 4 speed(she actually drove it very well)...

HAHA that is what I think it was , because there is one of those here in town with flowmasters, and it was probably that thing.  It is rainning here but here are the pics. LOL.  I did the sides myself, they only did the back one.

Nice tint.  I dont think we can have it that dark here in NC, though.

Looks good... BUT after having to deal with removing blistered tint from my '95 back window, I want no part of the stuff...

Anybody wants the secret, I have it and it ain't one you'll find on the net...

whats your secret Tom?  the tint on the rear of my TC is bubbled so bad that its hard to see through.  I'm kinda scared to try to remove it because of the rear defroster lines.

The corn looks good. It is only two feet high here this year. No rain.

Peel the outer layer and use spray paint stripper, takes about 6-8 min to soften and it start peeling like a sunburn... I worked from the center to each side in 3-4 small applications to each side... Ammonia(SP*) will remove the remaining softened glue... Windex will finish up the job... It's a good idea to remove the package tray covering...

Don't breathe the fumes...

*ed IE,(:flip: Mocrosoft) gotta download Firefox with spell check...

Well  I spelled ammonia correctly, just didn't look right...

Yeah Mocrosoft is spelled wrong... Screw em... Planning on installing Linux XP on the old computer, if I can master it, I may just dump MS all together...
