Default got the windows tinted!!!!!!!!!!!

figured it was time to show off the GXP again to show off my window tint let me know what you think, i think it makes the tinted tails look way better. 5% on the backs and 20% on the fronts.

Nice! Is the back glass done too? What did it cost, or did you do it yourself?
I'm wanting to do this soon.

yes the back is done also, it cost 250 for the four sides and the back window. the guy that i took it to does really awesome work, he also does pinstriping and decals. he charges a little more that the other places in town but he takes the time to take the door panels off and makes sure he gets the whole window so the tint starts before the weather stripping on the side windows. he said it took him about 5 hours to do mine.

looks good man. i have a friend that usually does mine for free and i pay for materials but i wouldnt look for the cheapest price cuz tint fades and when it does its ugly! black will turn to purple then you have to strip it off and redo it and trust me thats not fun. you need to make sure you look for a good quality tint.

yup this guy uses good tint, and is where everyone in the area goes for tint thats why i went there. i hate purple tint. i did the tint in my 68' c10 but that was easy , there was room to work and the windows were flat. i tried doing my GXP and failed lol

I went to Kustom Workz in Buffalo, and they said for any 4 door car its 220, and for a 2 door its 150. I didn't think that was a bad deal, but I want to some more performance mods before anymore appearance mods. BTW looks good OP!

yeah not bad at all price wise. seems like price varies ALOT depending on where your at. I would like more performance before tint but i have a 4 month old daughter and needed to get the backs tinted so i figured id do them all. it does stay way cooler and i use the AC way less
