Default New Mod idea

I was looking at my car as she sat in the garage, and I thought and wondered if anyone has blocked out/painted and color matched the small rear window just behide the back door window. I'd like to see or know if anyone has tried it? In my mind it looks cool, / turbomangt

Hum, I haven't seen one but it wouldn't be hard to try it to see what it will look like, if you know anyone around you that makes decals, have them put some vinyl over it close to the color of your car and see how it looks, if it looks bad just pell it off.

be cool, James <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you don't know someone with vinyl, this would give you a temporary image. Just spray some touch up paint on slick paper, plastic, etc and tape it on. One side's plenty. Take a picture and look at it ocassionally over a period of time to see if you want it. Be sure to cover the C pillar for a clean line.

guys guys just take a large piece of construction paper place over the rear window and trace a ruff outline and then cut it out put in place and take the photo like 2sb stated.

Cruise on!

nope, I like the tinted look more. I'm not sure about oainting glass either, wouldn't it scratch easy? I think a vinyl would be cool idea wuw!

Cruise on!

I considered a Landau vinyl treatment similar to the old square New Yorkers but it seemed too added on and hurt the flow of the roofline.
For vinyl, look at the custom Carson Tops, if anything.
