Default 2013 Grand Sport Corvette tinted

Had it for 1 week so far so I think it is time to start modding.

I decided to go a little lighter than my 2005 Corvette, which had 5% in the back and 20% on the sides. It made it really hard to drive at night when trying to see what is beside and behind me. The Grand Sport went one shade lighter. 20% on the back and 35% on the sides. Still looks freaking dark.

My Centennial Callaway GS vert 6 spd......5 percent sides and back 30 on windshield. Looks wicked as hell but not advisable for regular night time driving. Glad I have power windows!

For that nasty look have your lights and side markers tinted.

Nice tint, I have similar levels, and I think you will like it well over time. No visibility issues, and it does seem to keep the car cooler inside too.

Looks really good. I went with the same % on mine and it isn't too bad at night but I wouldn't want it any darker.

Garret, I'm with you, 50% here in Minnesota. Can't wait until the roads are dry again.

OP, dang your car looks great. Just one suggestion, can you paint that license plate
