....and you'd get over charged by $20 and still have to pay shipping.

They are available at local autoparts stores for $40-$45. They might not be on the shelf (Camaro ones typically are), but the store can order them and they'll be in in 3 days. I bought my AutoVentShade blackouts from Lappens (New England auto chain) a few years ago.

Also, you can remove the "AVS" logos with 3M Perfect-It II.

Its basically spray-on tint.
Some on here have used it.
Do a search and you should find some threads.
Maybe someone will chime in on their experience.
