    Tinted the plastic rear window on the car, came out better then I thought it was going to.. I messed up in the top right corner, but from 10 ft away you can't tell.

    I couldn't stand it not matching my windows, it was driving me nuts.

    Do you not see the before picture? The window wasn't visible either way, and looked like crap since this top is original.

    Exactly, it's plastic, which VHT is made to "tint"

    It doesn't look AMAZING, but it defiantly looks better then the nasty fogged up crap.

    i'll give you that. I just mean that the way the spray is applied may not look the best. Sorta why flip's tails always look better than vht tails. Nonetheless, an improvement

    When I actually get some spare cash (who knows when) I'm going to get a brand new top with a glass rear window, instead of plastic, and then tint that the correct way.

    But for now, this will do.

    it matches really well, VHT is the easiest way to tint windiws, not the best looking, but the easiest

    The window doesn't fold, it just lays back as one piece.

    I'm giving it 48 hours before putting the top down.
