The first real thing I've done for my beloved:

The bulbs will be yellow for now. Later I will pick up some silver coated bulbs.

And this is to show how light my windows are. I don't know if I want to have them tinted or not, I just don't want the UV damage to my interior.

Looks good!

I have to say, it's interesting that you have a Limited model, and no factory tint on the windows. Thats usually a BASE model thing.... (Aeh)

I think the person who owned it before me took it off, then later decided to put some back on that's very light. There are bubbles now :(

That's the thing... you CAN'T take off the factory tint. It's integrated into the windows.

But maybe that's my paranoia kicking in...

Only worry should be if someone slapped the LTD badge on it. Other than that, just get them tinted ;)
Factory tints are actually colored windows. Maybe the build sheet can help you, if it was tinted/privacy glass from the factory, then replaced after an incident?

Yeah, my build sheet says it came with them. I'm just wondering, if they did replace them, what they would have done to it to need to replace all the windows.

My build sheet says tinted windows too, but they are not what I'd call tinted... Mine's an '05 Sport. Made me wonder too. I just bought it but I know the history, nothing has been replaced.

I just shrugged and thought it was wierd!

Tint does not mean TINT. There is a huge difference between the tinted windows you're reading, which means a light light tint which really is more of a solar reflective protection that ALL windows come with, or at least the vast majority, and the Mopar DEEP TINT WINDOWS, which is what you think of as tinted... 35% or so. Deep Tint is only available as part of the Limited's basic equipment or, in your Sport's case, the C package.

GBBS Tinted Windshield Glass
GCBS Front Door Tinted Glass
GEGS Deep Tint Sunscreen Glass

My front windows say tinted per the build sheet. Go ahead and look at them and you will think they are not. Because they're not. It's just basic UV protection. My back windows, however, are, and it is the Deep Tint that came with the Limited.

Thanks for the explanation Titan, that's kind of what I figured, although never having purchased a new car, I would have expected TINT if they said it came with tinted windows! :) Now I know better!
