Gold pizza? You got some expensive tastes! Most of us just like pepperoni or sausage!

You think that's how the rappers get gold teeth? They eat golden pizza and just don't brush?

it's not about style, it's about functionality, so in all honesty it doesn't matter at all if you're "feeling it"

so i got a quote today on how much it would be for window tint. so for 20% tint on all 4 windows and rear window it would be $180.. plus $30 total to take off the old tint.. does that sound reasonable..$180..?

I paid $340 for mine, including the windshield. However...it's Llumar tint and I have a lifetime warranty. But $180 is insanely cheap, the place by me charges $125 for the windshield OR rear window, and $50 for each side window.

Just watch videos on youtube about how to tint windows. It's easy. :lol:



But yeah, $180 is a good price. Go for it!

It's the best brand of tint available. You get what you pay for. 5+ years on Lucius, no fading, purpling, bubbling, etc.

take the old tint off yourself, its not hard...just make sure you use a brand new razor blade. depending on how old the tint is, it will likely come off in pieces and whatnot, so be prepared to scrap off little pieces, its pretty time consuming and it will save you $30 dollars

another note, i think 20% might be too dark on the front windows...i have 20% on my back 3 and it gets rough to see at night in low lite areas, though i wish i wouldve got my windshield strip done in 20% might eventually get it redone

ill try tomorrow.. tho i rarely have patience.. so i dont know how well its gonna work out. well i had 40% before.. that was dark but not dark enough.. ill think about it.. maybe 20 on the 3 rear windows and 40 on the 2 front ones.


ok well since i got to the bank earlier to deposit my money before work, im off to order some parts and little things for the RT..

oo and hey LSP i think i can save on shipping for those rims i showed you if i have this shop in town order them. if i remember correctly, they deal directly trough that website. so its all good. so itll only be $752 with these other tires i chose.

I would do that if I were you. Save the money on that and spend the cash on something else. To most people 20% is too dark. You can't see backing up and taking corners in the dark it makes it tough to see out of your side windows. Just some food for thought when you have it tinted.
