Thank god it only took me about 30 minutes to intall both vent covers. There is a night and day difference with the painted vs factory cover. Still lets in some light but no were near the 2nd cover.348Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Good tint will peel off fairly easy and they make an adhesive remover to wipe off what adhesive is left behind. As far as the difference in 20% and 5%, there is alot more light let in at 20 and you can see through 20 during the day. Using 5% you will have to press your face to the window to see in during the day. My car has two different % tints on it. Front windows are 20% and rear are 5%. This picture shows the difference in the two.348Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

I cut mine slightly larger then the window. Applied soapy water to the window and tint. Then put it on the window and squeeged from the center out. Then you can trim it with a razor blade.322Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Got my Maxxair II vent covers ready for install today. I painted the inside of one black since it goes directly over our queen bed. The tinted windows made it much cooler and nicer camping this weekend. one on top of box is the painted one.322Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

This will really help getting our kid to bed when its still light out, getting her to take naps in the afternoon, and keep everyone in bed a bit longer in the morning. I also have 2 Maxxair vent covers due her tomorrow. They had a deal on 2 white ones on ebay so thats what I bought. One vent is in the bathroom so I will leave that one white. Second one is over the queen bed and I HATE it! Love the fresh air it allows in but the light makes me feel like I'm trying to sleep with a light on. I like the look of the white covers from the outside so my plan is to spray paint the inside of the vent cover black using spray paint for plastic. Will allow all the fresh air, look white from the outside, and block the light out over our bed. Will post pics when I get them painted and installed.240Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
You can get 2.5% at walmart. The 5% made it a lot nicer in there this morning. Should really help keep it cool in there as well. The tint I used is almost mirrored effect when you stand a few feet back and look at it with no lights on in the trailer.240Views0likes0Comments
