Write up on the 3M gold Delorean.

It looks like a matte version of gold, which sort of misses the point.

An owner in Australia did this a couple of years ago, with better results, imho

Stainless rules, vinyl drools!! !

Kidding, to each their own.

This is what I was talking about. Black is pretty much the only color I would consider on a DeLorean other than stainless. I think that a matte black finish that retains the metal brushed texture would actually be pretty cool to run with for a little while.

Unsurprisingly, you can also get gold with the brushed metal texture. In my opinion this would have looked WAY better on this DeLorean than this monotone light brown does...

I have tinted windows in my car, tint with UV protection. It is a PITA with the way our windows are (if you do it yourself) but the results are worth it.

I was talking about the window film. It had some property to it that blocked most if not all the uv light and made the interior cooler on sunny days as well. It had a light tint to it if I recall correctly.

I also remember him saying he was pretty imprressed with it.

I dunno. I totally understand vinyl wrap on commercial fleet vehicles that double as mobile advertising. It's a cheap way to not only mass-market your products & services, but it also removes easily so when it comes time to sell off the vehicle at auction it remains salable. So when you're dealing with hundreds of vehicles at the same time, it makes sense.

But for a personal car? Why not just pay for a paint job at that price? Because other than a DeLorean, what car could you possibly NOT want to paint at all?

I have the 3M ceramic tint on all my glass in the car. It greatly reduces heat inside the car and I absolutely love it. It is expensive but in my opinion 100% worth it.

Steve, did you install the tint yourself or have a shop do it?

I had a shop do it.

I had a shop do it.

Can you PM me details on the shop and the cost? Did you go the windshield too?
