you guys need to remember.. with more options= higher price.
Also.. if you guys get the hatch tinted... the next thing people will complain about is what %...
You guys are going to drive the price up..
I would leave it clear.. let people worry about matching it to their car..
If i had it.. i would buy some lense paint and paint the whole b**** dark to match my limo tint.
No matter what option Chris gives.. the majority will not be happy since the majority do not have matching tint...
Leave it clear and keep the price down.
As far as the spoiler..
Without the center post expect that spoiler to bend, flex, and move while driving on the freeway..
i remember people complaining about that with the Wings west spoiler... which is pretty much a shark spoiler without the center post..

Jaws, its not just the tint thing.. its also a much harder polymer for around the same if not same price.. this would make it less likely to scratch, which would benifet all.. if it was even tinted at 50% then people can do whatever tghey want, as far as tinting darker..
more people will be prone to buy if there not going to have to worry about scratching as much.
offtopic: how does that spray tint work? how good is it? its the back window so it really wont matter how it looks that much? just wondering if u have experience with it?
im just saying if we can get it tinted, even a lil, which all people want, and to have a harder polymer (which wont scratch up as much) for the same or maybe lil higher price, y not?

I understand.. as a tuner myself.. i would want the b**** SUPER tinted... i have limo tint. My car is not only for race and show, its also a porno studio. tongue.gif
But.. put yourself in Chris' shoes..
If he gets it 50% tinted..
He will have people complaining that a) dont have tint, B ) have only 15% tint, c) have odd questions like is tint illegal in boise, Idaho,...ect.
Leaving it clear leaves the option open for you to tint it to match YOUR car.
Its also A LOT easier for chris to keep prices low and to run his business.
As far as the headlight tint spray.. If it works on hot ass headlights, it should work on the rear window.
Also to note... your rear hatch should not be getting THAT scratched up. Nothing hit its it... unless you guys like driving in reverse.
I know $hit happens... but still..
Just some things to consider.
Im willing to bet the price hike will scare some.

o lets not consider the tint.. there may be no price hick, and maybe 20 bucks if any.. that wont scare neone away whos willing to put down 500-600 on a hatch in the first place..
and about that tint, if your talking about nite shades, i think itll look like crap on the whole rear hatch, i also hope your talking about doing the inside.. on that big of a surface, i think it may have tendancy to drip or what not.. that would be the best idea for if it didnt come tinted tho..
ud be amazed how scratched it will get, after car washes, sand, dirt, etc.. my buddy has lexan rear window on his silverado and he has to polish it like every two weeks and its still scratched to hell..

The hatch is going to be CF. Thats no issue, so the only thing we care about is how this damn window will be. I guess if its just as much work and all that I can provide a couple different options, then I'm all over it. But if its a pain, you guys will get what you get, which should still kick ass .I'll be over there this week seeing how things go. I'll run the diff materials by the company and see what they think.
