I'm looking to tint my GTP's windows someday. Any suggestions on the best brand/type of tint for the money? I'm not looking to spend a whole lot, but then again I don't want to be cheap and get cruddy tint.

Get the metalized tint, don't bother wasting your money with the dyed tint.

If you're having it done professionally, they'll know.
Dyed tint has a blue/purple look to it.
Metalized gives off more of a reflection.

M3 tint is the best quality. The best tint job is gettin the tint one shade below legal. Cops will never know, and it looks great .

i think you have to remove the backseat to get it out. take the seat out and then take the speaker thing off. it's amazing how many times i've read about taking the backseat out and i can never remember!

Check your local laws for the level of darkness of the tint.

The guy I bought my car from was a Cop in San Antonio and he had some really good tint on the windows. Its dark on the outside but you can see easily threw it from the inside. I guess he got the hookup on tint since he was a cop haha.
