Rear Window Graphics

SPELLY F150 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2004, 09:57 PM

Im thinking about putting one of those rear window graphics on my 1997 F150 black in color.

What does anyone think aobut them, can you see out of them well, what cool looking designs have people seen, or should I just tint the rear window?

Feedback would be great

Pat

I had the ScreenScapes Stars and Bars on my excursion for about 2 years! It is like a big vinyl decal except perforated and adheres to the outside of the window. You can see fine unless it's wet or raining.. then you can't see a thing.

I got tired of mine and decided to go for a different look this year on my excursion and try custom tint. Here are pics when it had the Stars and Bars and now with the custom tint.

I had glasscapes rear window on my last truck. It is true when it is wet, you can't see much. When there is snow and ice on it you cannot scrape it. When it is clean and dry you can see just fine.

It's Custom made tint from Mikes Tint Shop. Mine are chrome tribal flames but they are available in many colors and styles or totally custom from your own design.

Just about any professional tint shop can do it.

MrRottnDog,
I wasn't trying to steal your response but tofer76 is in Iowa so it would be best for him to look around home instead of going to California to get it done if he was interested.

I live in Illinois!

They make it custom cut for your application and ship it to you. You can then take it to a local tint shop for installation or do it yourself if you are good at it.

Better Sit Down For This Part!

$725.......... Just For The Tint!

But... I had 7 windows to do on my excursion. So a pickup should be much less.
