1 is surely better than 2 (in tickets sense). I love it. Can't wait to see it with those rims on. Are you gonna be the big pimp or what?
Are those 17" rims? The stock rims are 16" so I think you may need some new tires.

They are 17". Now I have to wait till Spring to get tires. Unless dad pops early, but I doubt it!
She should look nice when done, I hope!

Yeah youll really have a "SWEET V-8" when you get those 17 inch wheels on.
I was talking to a kid at school today and he said he has 5% tint on his black Grand Am. He's been pulled over 6 times for various reasons and he said not once did the cops ever say anything about his tint. I guess most cops dont really care about the darkness of tint on the windows.

I probably would have gone darker too, but my dad put the hault to that. He figured if I was spending the $ to put it on, why take the chance that it would have to come off and waste that money? Why not spend the $ once and be done with it? So he won that battle, and thus the 38% all the way around. I really like it though. Not too much, and still dark enough to know they're tinted. Now, I have a friend in school that has a Grand Am and his dad is a county cop. He had some really dark stuff(not sure what %) but he got pulled over, and they made him take it off. If anyone should have a little pull with the cops, it should be a cops son. But he didn't get away with it. They made him pull it! hmmmmmmm I wonder if his dad might not have had something to do with that after all.......

I bought the set on e-bay for $317. ;D ;D My Uncle lives in Milwaukee and was able to pick them up for me from the seller. So I didn't have to pay shipping or anything. SWEET deal!! Can't wait to get rubber on them and get them mounted! They should really sparkle behind all that black!

Whats that little stubbie antenna for on the rear window? Do you have satellite radio?

Post by BlackButy on Dec 15, 2004 15:12:11 GMT -6
Nope, not satelite. The guy that had it before me had a Cell phone installed and the antenna was part of the deal. I kinda liked it, so I left it alone. Also, it was going to be a lot of work to get everything out. I've removed the phone and found under the back seat the power plant and amplifier for the phone, so I removed all that, but the antenna wire runs up the side panels behind the rear door and then under the head liner, so rather than tear that all out, I left it alone.

You should try and rig that antenna up to your radio so you can d/c the stock antenna. Ever thought of trying it?

Nope, never did, but it's certainly a good idea. Not sure what kind of reception that little thing would get, but it would be neat to find out.

Not a huge fan, looks a bit to ricey for me, and really doesnt suit the Aurora.

well i have the dark red Aurora and I dont think a mirrored tint would look that bad. I think it would look nice on a darker colored vehicle rather than a light one for example your white Aurora
I like the black tint you have. Its dark but still legal in Wisconsin.

i got a marroon ford taurus and it looks very very nice with the window tint. im afraid to tint my black aurora because it might be to much black. or look funny in direct sunlight. but id go with 15% not to dark but no one can see in. maybe a 5% on the backwindow. tinting will be last for me tho

im looking into tinting my windows. but some questions for the people who already have it on there aurora's. what does the back window look like? it has all those little dots at the top. wouldnt it bubble if u tint that? anyone know of a good tint shop in central ohio? if you cant tint the back window all the way up. could you order a window with factory tint in for the back window? the people that did the back of my taurus did a pretty crappy job.

The dots shouldn't be a problem for an experienced shop. It should cost you right around $240 for a good shop to do all of your windows. I'm thinking about doing 35% on all my side windows and 20% on my rear window. (light really bothers my eyes.. headlights behind me really mess up my night vision because of my night blindness.)

my taurus cost 220$. its 15% all around. its pretty dark inside and you can still see at night and the taurus doesnt have the lil side lamp either. but every car around here i see has half a window of tint and nothing over the black dots. jim and rora99 how does your back windows look?

most GM cars have those black dots. My Riviera had them covering the entire 8" or so of the top window. the window tinted just fine.

I think you know why they probably went out of business. heh. It took the tint shop 9 hours to do my Riviera though on a 90* day and that was on a 2 door car. If it were a 4 it probably would have been even longer.
