Default ATTN: CT Guys

I am new to the board and new to owning a vette. Infact I just bought my first one about 4 weeks ago and love it. Its a 00 black on black MN6 coupe base suspension. My question to you CT guys is have any of you tinted your windows and if so where did you go? I am going to tint mine this spring or late winter and I have read that it can be a tough thing to do on the rear window because of the bumps. I want to know if any of you can recomend a place that either did you right or a place that you have seen others done right by and a place that does not have a high vette tax? Thanks for the help and I hope to see some of you cruising this spring/summer when you pull the cars out of the garrage.
Thanks, Patrick

Ill have to see whats going on this weekend with the girl and see if my other vette buddies want to take a trip up it sounds like it should be fun, but I think we have plans to do some electronics shopping. But come to think of it we could shop right there on the pike and go to hooters too. I will run it with my bunch. Thanks for the invite.

Would you mind if I called and used u as a reference for a price? I work in Bridgeport and checked with the shop down there,he quoted me $159 for my z. Seemed pretty fair. I just don't feel like driving all the way to B-port from Meriden in the z on these roads.
