Looks good! How much did you pay and what brand and grade did they use?

I'm going to get the back tinted with Llumar Metallized tint for $69.00. I thought about getting the 1/4 windows too, but I'm getting louvers for that.

I got it done for free. I worked on one of the sales guys laptops at a shop here in lexington so he tinted me for free. Its 20% lumar but i don't know what type. Normally that would be around 100 bucks for a coupe.

Just a heads up about the metallized. If I'm not mistaken, it will kill your cell signal when the windows are up. Also, your keyless remote range will suffer. Talking from experience.

I wonder how much it affects the cell signal without having the driver and passenger side windows done?
Since my car is a stick, I don't talk and drive. Sometimes I use my Bluetooth, but I'd rather be listening to a CD. The keyless remote range isn't a big deal to me since I usually unlock the car from about 6 feet away.

Thanks for the heads up.
