I hope so...I recently paid almost that much...with instalation I drove out of there in just under 4 bills. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
They did a great job though, all my nice chrome back in place. |

Choose wisely. Most of the hacks don't know enough to install new clips and get the trim on right. BTDT

That's what I want to hear about, what's the best way to do this? I saw Brad do it with Scott Yeaman's tube frame car, I think it was a special kind of paint pen or small bottle just for this purpose. Are there alternatives? I'd be in favor of a spray (more even coverage). |

I've collected all the details, but I'd also like a fade pattern. That takes silk screan pattern. May have to do that part in decal or...
I'll email it when I have a chance. |

You may want to search some more or find a friend in the glass business. The cost on these is $179. From there its anybodys mark-up.
This price is on a PPG windshield with tinted top. I would imagine different regions are different prices but they cant be that far off. |
