Some Toyota Liteaces have (stock) dark-tinted side windows which
cover the pillars. These look good. I've seen a pic of a VW T2 (Bay)
with a similar (obviously NOT stock) treatment... looked very nice!


Surely our T3s can also be so treated? The metal just below the
windows (windshield too) could also be painted gloss-black to enlarge
the apparent size of the windows, a factory trick used on some
Japanese vans.


The original windows would need to be removed and mounts and seals
fabricated to seal the new ones to the sides and pillars.
