Cheers mate, will get them on asap when they come. WINDOW TINT OR NO TINT ??

looks wicked on the calais rims mate, ditch the tint. also think it looks fine without the walls

Awesome looking Calais! Ditch the tint and put the porta walls in the bin.

All Calais ( VL ) enthusiasts think to take it off lol but everyone else says leave it on ... Im stuck .. Anyways got the walls on ( love it ) i like it way better then no walls. Heres some pics. Nearly back to original. Leaving Exhaust and Suspension in but. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Haha. Thanks. I sold the SSV's. $1000 plus a good set of Genuine Bt1 Chasers. So pretty happy with that. But sad to see them go.

I am now on SC forum. as WITNESS-87.

car bra looks good...they were popular back in the day.

Some more random photos. SHOULD I TAKE MY TINT OFF???????????????? At school in the Auto shed, there was some random carpet left over from someone in the holidays. No one wanted it so i took it home in a mates ute. And laid it in the shed lol. Here is a mates new Calais, he got it last week. May 86 Calais, red trim, exhaust, lowered etc, has bug eyes because somewhere it its life it was crashed a little, and they just put a normal vl front on it, and ditched the skirts for some stupid reason as well. Needs a fair bit of tlc. But not as mint as mine. Got a Calaistrubo sticker on, because i became an Official member and while i emailed him i asked for one. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dude it's an awesome car n you have got allot of positive feedback but don't let it go to your head mate. it's still your car n it's not going to ruin the look, what every tint option u choose. If some one could do a photo shop to give you insight into what it may look like. Or look at the bt1 threads or white Vl Calais on google images n look at tints.. I have tiny on my stock Calais from previous owner don't mined it. Good luck in making up ur mined mate.

Thanks Turismo. Its a hard decision so just getting a few opinions about it, but leaning to taking it off. I've done work experience at a tint, windscreen and detail shop so i know how to take the tint off without the glue and ruining the demister, which is the worried thing about taking it off. It will show off the Venetians and trim, but its never left in the sun so taking it off gives a nice factory look...

that experience is handy depending how old it is, I had a fun time removing my old tint. it was some super awesome 3.5 layer stuff that was crusty lol needed to come off. cant have miss matching windows lol But yeah mate i think you should take the tint off and Give it back the factory look. Whan i had my first blue calais on my Ps i wanted to put tint on but now i look back i think it looked the best without it. hmm my god one has tint atm and it Tint looks cheap in some cases and for some weird reason it louses its sleek look with solid dark mass above the doors. Vls have that thin fit yet strong look to them and the tint is like blending the black of the window frames through the windows, if that makes sence.

Hey guys, new snaps in the back yard. Since the exhaust is really loud with the pacemakers and 2.5, i decided to put a hot dog at the rear with a dump tip. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
