Guardian Tints charge £50 per hour to remove tints, but they stressed they've only ever taken off 'botch jobs' but it's perfectly okay to take of properly installed tints too.

I love the car, but I'm racking up the mileage and using the Subaru is quite inconvienient (and gets to me that I can't use the Porsche all the time because customers would get the hump).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys,
I am thinking of having the windows on my black 996 tinted; 40% all round, which is light-
ish
(the legal tint is 30%).
I need some help deciding:
1) will it affect resale value?
2) will it ruin the look of the car?
3) can the tinting be removed in the future i.e. pre-sale
Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, J
An example of 40% tinting:

Hi J,
Have had my 996 windows tinted with light-tint (30%) and I think it's as dark as you would want. My car is Silver too, so it doesn't look 'pimped' at all.
I'm in the process of selling my car (noooooo! but needs must) and asked the company who did the install if it's reversable.. and the short answer is YES. Guardian Tints charge £50 per hour to remove tints, but they stressed they've only ever taken off 'botch jobs' but it's perfectly okay to take of properly installed tints too. It would take a couple of hours to do on a 996.
Paul - that's a shame [
], especially after all the expense of the Alpine install. What's replacing it? Not something too boring I hope.
Who am I going to badger about a rear spoiler now? [

Hi Richard,
Yeah... it is a shame... [

I love the car, but I'm racking up the mileage and using the Subaru is quite inconvienient (and gets to me that I can't use the Porsche all the time because customers would get the hump).
So... I WILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE for sure, but for the next couple of years I will have to put up with driving a BMW diesel [8|] (535d MSport).
My car isn't sold yet though, so it's not a done deal. [

I know a couple of people with spoilers you can start the haggle process with though Richard

Sorry to hijack the thread,
Pwafer - Paul sent you an email re query over HID fitting, not sure if you got it,
http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=312897
I've got the facelift too and can't work out how to modify the plastic clip for the bulb holder. Followed your really useful DIY instructions but that bit has me stumped.
Email me with a contact number if its easier for me to catch up with you that way.
Thanks
Ashley
PS Ive got a 54 plate 535D Msport I'm just in the process of selling, awesome car you won't be disappointed
