Got my window tint done
Went to GW Motorsports in Maryland yesterday and got my rear hatch glass done 20%...........It looks
GW does great work, quick and reasonably priced.
I am going to see how I like the 20% and then probably go back and get the sides done as well.
Anyway.......I recommend GW for anyone in the MD/VA/DC area!
PS....saw a lot of Vettes out yesterday and got a lot of

....it looks dark from the outside but the 20% won't bother you from the inside

Not only looks good, but it really helps keep the inside cool and protects the interior. I can't imagine not having tint on any of my vehicles.

I paid for my windshield already i just need to take it back in, i wonder if it will mess with the Hud though. I normally do a 50 % tiatinum tint to elimate glare on my windshields.

Earlier this year, I got our other two cars' windows tinted and I really like the look. May have to break down and get the Vette done also.

The majority of the dots are good. There a few near the top where it doesn't look as though it's completely flat but I was told this will improve in the next few days. They did the rear glass in one piece which I think is amazing!
I got the lifetime warrenty film so if there is a problem, GW told me to just bring it back and they will fix it....so I'm not concerned.

Where is this GW motorsports anyway?
I also thought about getting the windshield tinted really mildly. Like 50 or 70%. Im sure its illegal but so is speeding.

I will try to take some pics but I think a window is pretty difficult to capture! I'll wait until I'm sure the dots are all settled!

Rear glass was $88.00 and I think he told me the two door windows would be another $100.00 This is for the lifetime warranty 3M film.
