[Shotimes] Anybody selling a SHO??

[tjsmith@monmouth.com]

Steve,

I have had a 91+ with a black interior for 12 years. When I added
window tinting (one shade darker than legal) to the passenger
front, and all back windows (not suposed to have tinting on the 
front doors in NJ) it brought the temps down from 120 degrees
in the sun to about 118 degrees in the sun. The windshield is still
a killer. I never tried an interior windshield blocker.

My upper back seat still dried out on the part facing the back window.
I kept up with the leather treatments, but the sun still took its
toll through the tinting. My car was never in a garage for the first
10 years, YMMV

Tom 91+
