I was wondering if anyone thinks or remembers from seeing the 2005 at the various show, if the rear window has a dot-matrix effect on the upper inside of the window.....I hope not, it makes the rear window tinting look bad since they have a hard time tinting over the dots...if anyone could provide a picture that shows if it does or doesn't it would be appreciated, I looked at some pictures but I couldn't tell

Thanks

I saw a fork over there, though.

Seriously, I have a pretty good picture of the back of the Lime green one, if I can find a picture at home this evening. Maybe somebody will hook you up before then.

cool, thank you blk91gt...I had a 99' coupe that I just sold, and it had dot-matrix on the top part of the window, they had to stop the tint just before the dot and it looked like crap....it looks like I will be able to have one clean all black tinted window

how hard is it to remove the tint if I get it and decide I don't like or want it?

Dude, that's a serially big picture!

Anyway.

Removing tint was a $100 option on my Mark VII. The tint had peeled in a few places, bubbled up in others. The guy only charges $100 for the whole car for tint, but to remove it it would have been free if I hadn't had the defroster in the back.

So he says "look, that's hard as all get out, so another $100 and you'll be done."

Easy decision. I wanted my defroster to work, and I knew what he says was right. Musta taken him couple of hours just on the back window. did a beautiful job, my car looked sinister when he was done.

So. Easy to remove (allegedly) without any funny stuff, hard as heck with a defroster. Don't get a defroster and you'll be fine, 'long as you take it somewhere to get it gone. :P

Actually. Not so good eyes. That ring is on her right hand. Wedding bands go on the left hand.

It probably would have been best to just keep it at that resolution, but crop it to the appropriate size.

Well I haven't seen the car in person, but I can't see any Dot Matrix on the windows, but I did notice that the Rear Window has the Pony Logo on it at the bottom. Cool!

Don't know if anyone noticed...I like how the window is square but the blackout area is the shape of the 65-66 fastback window (curved at the bottom corners).
One of many nice details.
