Yeah i took it off a couple years back after it came loose from scraping up driveways and got sucked under the CL going 40. Tried to fix it but the damage is to much so ordered a new one yesterday...

Nice, I think tint does a lot for the CL. How bad is it trying to see out behind you at night with tint that dark? My car came with some pretty dark tint all over it and I can't see anything lol

In town it's not too bad, but out in the country it's damn near impossible..

I have noticed since the tint my window rattles when down all the way... rolls up alittle slower too.

I love the tint job on it! Something that simple always creates a different car.

You bumped a decade old thread, however, my own curiosity has me tagging OP to get an update because his CL was and may still be nice!

​​​​@Prentice I'm unaware of weather you're still active here or get email, but I want to reach out and ask, how's the car doing?
