the first few things i am planning on doing to my GP will be window tint and an eyebrow...i am going to be doing 35% on the front, 20% on the rear 3 and a 5% eyebrow....any ideas on what i am looking at price wise for all that?

second thing will be some inlays for the front and rear bumper and arrowhead....my car is silver so i am thinking of either doing black or red reflective for the rear....i want to do the combo front lettering kit from reflective concepts so that will be dependent on what colors i go with and the arrowhead will either be black or red reflective.....anybody on here with a silver GP with either the black or red inserts? what do you think will look the best?

also should add the tails, reverse and 3rd brake light will be getting tinted by flip

Black inlays front and back. For tint around here price is around $160-180. For all 4 and rears and usually like $20 for a brow. Sounds like a plan...im just more of a guy that likes my tint all the way even but of course you do have state laws.

lol by state standards he's still going illigal -.- gotta love ohio, it'll look good, go black inlays for it all, IMO red just dosen't work, not enough for it to match, however on the interior a bit o red will work cause the dash lights are red, cost me 72 bucks i wanna say but i got a rocker panel decal as well :P, as far as the tint Zeibart quoted me like 200ish for all my windows cause tech we have 7 windows, i talked to some folks around here and they said that was decent, and i like the life time warrenty :] , GL with it all interested to see it when it's done lol probably will look the way i want my car to

yeah i was thinking around $200 would be what it would be close to....i already got 2 tickets on my 98 gtp while i was in college so i try to stay close to the legal tint so i dont get another one....i wonder how it would look if i did the black non reflective inlay on the front and did the outline with the black reflective

i got non-reflective on the inlays, can't imagine reflective/non combo would look to bad, but i saw a pic of reflective red and it like stole the who picture cause your eye was drawn to the reflection, just food for thought :]

we cant do 2 big car payments and we are going to be expanding our family this year so we needed a bigger vehicle...the gxp was $415 a month and I had $16,000 left to pay off...the comp g is $104 a month...comp g gets better mpgs as well

As you wish.

I have close to the tint that you are talking about getting. I left the brow as stock because I like the natual fade from tint to clear instead of the clear cut line of a strip. I have 30% all the way around though. I am all about the silver and black if you can't tell haha. These are from awhile ago, but the only other change, other then my vanity plates, is that I had my tails tinted by flip. I chose black inlays for my pontiac lettering rear and front and a black emblem overlay. I used to have a reflective black one, but I hit a racoon after getting it on and had to replace the bumper so I had my uncle make me a plain black one at his graphics shop.

I think I will go with the black inlays on front and back, the arrowhead would be black and do the black reflective on the outside of the inlay

^^That's cool, but in my opinion, some of us have successfully executed eyebrows on our cars... But if everybody liked what everyone else has done that would be boring... Each to their own...
