Painted part of my dash, and tinted my own windows After a few trial and error runs with tinting windows, I finally did my t/a's 35% ( legal limit) , and they came out amazing, and thats all for $20 TOTAL. I then realized that f body glass is already dark , so i guess my tint is about 32% now...
I also took out the part of the dash that goes over the gauge cluster , sanded it down and paintd it black. I think it looks a lot better and gives the interior a somewhat different look, which it seriously needs anyways.

props to you for doing the tint yourself! That is one thing I will not touch, I'd rather pay the $150 to get it done by a pro then have a half assed looking job done by myself lol! But yours looks awesome!
