Window Tinting...

So I tinted the windows, or at least started to this weekend. Go the rear windows done so far. Just using 5% VLT film I bought at the Local Auto Parts Store, rear window was done in place, the two side windows were removed and done inside. New felt seals and anti rattle holders were put in too... no more window clatter.

This was done for a few reasons...

1) Duh, it looks bad-ass! :)
2) Keeps the interior a bit cooler in the summer
3) darker inside for daytime naps (3 year old)
4) Blocks UV rays, my wife had Stage 3 Melanoma 10 years ago... want to keep it that way.
5) keeps the curtains looking new, no fade from the UV rays
6) Needed to hide the new interior wall - about a foot of the rear window will be blocked by a new wall inside for the bathroom. (Port side)
