Josh made a tedious job look easy.I used to clay bar my c5 but that c5 you have one of the nicest in the country.in a rare color too.love the content!!!
Good day Justin; congratulations on the C5, it’s looking amazing, and a big thumbs up 👍🏼 to Josh and the personnel at Blackout Tinting, it’s obvious their work and attention to detail is top notch; take care !
Justin, that freaking things shines more than my bald head lol!! I wish Josh had a place like that up here in NY!!! You are lucky to have them so close to you.. Another great video!! Thanks Jr..
You are very right! Blackout Tinting is amazing at what they do and I wish everyone had a shop like them close by because all car guys deserve this kind of stuff!
I had an 02 electron blue w/silver int. & grand sport stripes.red calipers,dark tint & clear roof & headlights.corsa extreme,w col air intake.Chrome wheels off an 11 grand sport.I love to see this build .car has such good bones.
Looks like maybe the Blackout team is working on cracking Chevy’s ECM or computer? For better tuning? Justin, gotta tell you man, love the content always but why I really enjoy your channel is primarily your ENTHUSIASM ! You always have a great positive approach, speak clearly, good camera work, and you explain things in just enuf detail so as not to bog down. Keep ‘em comin’ Bud!
Ugh....@2:24.....every time I see the shifter knob with the square button, I can't help but think that Chevy used that exact same knob for 19 years. It first appeared on the 1986 Camaro and Corvette and they continued to use it until the 2005 model year. 🤪 That C5 looks amazing though. Good find. And very interesting how they deal with the 'dot-matrix' rear glass. Thanks for showing.
Hello! Great channel love your Corvette I have an 1999 C5 silver gray and love it, it runs and look great! You have been very helpful with things I needed to know. Thank You.
That dark green metallic is a beautiful color, and im sure it looks black at night. Whoever owned that car prior, took very good care of it. The XPEL makes it really Pop,,,,,,Wow !
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen. Very nice video!!! I will be sure to watch some more. I am also a C5 owner. 2003 Z06 in black. I am also from Pennsylvania as well, Woolrich to be exact. But now I live in Chattanooga. Looking forward to more of your content. 😎
Very informative video. Only thing I didn’t like was that the front emblem was not removed when the Expel was installed. I understand that that was probably the way the pattern was cut but I would have had them do a custom piece on the nose. Congratulations on the new C5. What great shape for a car that old. Well done purchase.
I’d like to get my C6 Z06 tinted and have had a few local shops tell me the C6 rear glass never looks right . I might have to take a road trip to Black out Tinting 🇺🇸 Your C5 looks super clean, the work Black Out Tinting did looks great.
Absolutely! Come out here and take a look at how the pros do it. I have looked for a detail shop that I could rely on for years and I finally found it. Let me know if you do come out and we can meet up!
I loved this episode, I will be going here when I get my Vette out of storage if I can get an appointment. I have a '03 50th Anny. and it needs some TLC.
Looks awesome, curious, they don’t paint correct before they install expel? For a 21 yo car it does look amazing, would not be my 1st choice of color, but it is growing on me, and it’s different, don’t see those every day. Great job by black out tint crew, they do incredible work.👍
You really don't need to paint correct before XPEL. They will do it if you want them to, but at the end of the day it's not needed and it will only add to your bill. The guys at Blackout really know their stuff!
The ceramic coating protects the surface and makes it super slick (so things don't stick) meaning that the XPEL wouldn't stick to it if you put it on the paint first. When it goes on top of the XPEL it offers another layer of protection as well.
Now after the Xpel is done, you can take it to Inshane designs and be the first to have a Rapid Blue C5 coupe...and still have Bowling Green underneath...😎72° at the local Car show in Arizona, with 2...C8's there...it was a very nice day.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Shane does good work as well but Josh at blackout def takes care of him and puts out very high end quality as well...and if Shane is familiar with him he's real cool he would agree I'm sure!
@@HorsePowerObsessed ok, but he describes his business as Blackout Tinting, and not much other than that...so I assumed he didn't do wraps, ...its the same process...maybe add "and more," to the name.👍
the Torch Red C8 at the show, was bought in New Hampshire, they said from the #2 Corvette in sales dealership, behind Kerbeck...and shipped to Az...go figure.
It's looking better than "brand new" Justin! As to the rear-window tint, you don't see many "tinters" do a one piece install though. I had mine done in one piece, but I was warned about the possibility of having a wavy line due to the dots, which I do have. So Josh using a glue really got my attention. Wish I lived closer, I'd have mine re-done, although it's totally liveable for now. Save the Wave👋
Thanks, Peter! I'm always looking for perfection when it comes to my cars and Blackout Tinting is as close to it as you can get! They really know their stuff and he proved that to me when he tinted my C7 rear glass in a way that didn't leave any wavy marks on the Corvette flag dot matrix. I'll show you someday in person if you haven't seen it yet.
Yes, I'd love to see yours in person for sure. If there's a 2021 Corvettes at Carlisle, would Josh entertain being there? If so, I hope his attendance would include some installs. If so, I'd sign up for at least my rear hatch glass to be re-done and who knows what else in the way of xpel or ???
I just saw this reply, Peter! Blackout Tinting will be at Corvettes at Carlisle this year but they do XPEL installs in the XPEL tent. If you're interested in XPEL, they'll get it done for you!
I was going to email you a follow up, but I know you're busy. Thanks for the above. I already have my motel reservations for Carlisle and have paid for my Fun Field pass. Here's hoping we're all together this year.🤞🏼 With the recent improvement in weather I hope you've been out and about and just Vette'n around. IRON VETTE' is back in the shop for some more aesthetic mods. Nothing too dramatic, just "detail-type" mods. That's why we get along, it's all in the details.😉 Save the Wave🙋♂️
The antigravity battery is hands down the best battery made for the Corvette. It's expensive but you can save 15% on it right now for black friday. It lasts longer (12 years), has more cold cranking amps (2000+), doesn't need to be plugged in for the winter, and weighs up to 25 pounds less than the stock battery, the best part for the C5? NO acid to leak. Check it out here: antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/automotive/ag-75-rs/ref/32/ and use code BF15
@@HorsePowerObsessed I'm considering paint correction. I like the idea of ceramic coating the bumper, hood and front-quarter panels. The guy who tinted my windows did exactly what your installers did to that gorgeous green ride you have.
I just bought a clean 2003 Z06 this week, what does Black Out tinting charge for that job? I'm in Florida and it might be worth my while to make a road trip up there if the price is right.
We are opening a shop in Florida shortly. Blackout tinting and I have teamed up to bring the Blackout quality to our friends in the south! Should be ready for business in the next few weeks.

I live in PA Philly area and am definitely interested in taking a trip to Blackout Tinting for a similar treatment on my C5 which is my baby. If so what % tint are you running all the way around? Windows, hatch and windshield
Man I think that C5 is cleaner than my car. Even before the polish and ceramic coating. The interior may be the most impressive though, barely a wrinkle in the leather!
The C5 is a show car, I would be afraid to drive it! The only thing I see that's a minus is the back glass looks as if it has a lot of scratches when they first raised the back glass?
@@HorsePowerObsessed If you look back at the video when he first raised the back glass as the light hit it just right you can see scratches. it's probably just how the light he it. either way, it's a very nice C5!
Ordinarily I am only interested in C8 content. However, my only other Vette was a 97 C5. At the time, the C5 was very hot and leaps and bounds nicer exterior than the C4.
I won't be doing anything that isn't easily reversible. I like to put my own mark on the cars but in this case I want to make sure it's easily reversible like I said.
What do you guys think of the C5 so far? LOTS to come so stay tuned! HUGE thank you to Klick Lewis and Blackout Tinting! 👍👍
Josh putting in work
Definitely! I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep. 🤪
Thank you! I agree! The color really pops with some window tint! The guys at Blackout really know their stuff!

15:25 how to combat dot matrix when tinting rear window
Blackout tinting does fabulous work.
They really do!
Polo Green, wow, looks fantastic on a C5. I have a Fairway green C5
Very nice!

The hard water spots could possibly be dealt with but the scratches are really hard to get out of glass.

It's actually dark bowling green metallic.
