oh...tint the resin! This potentially added alot more weight...and money spent. I knew it was way too fast that he finished in 3 days without even asking you.

damn I just looked up the price for the rear glass and it 450 front is 702 but for some reason here in FL they pay for 1 free windshield a year so ill find a way to scam them lol
. I was passing by one time with my old car and they were mowing the grass on the side of the road and a rock flung out and cracked my front windshield I called the company that was mowing and they didnt even ask when or where they just sent out a mobile glass company to my job and replaced it and gave me 2 free steaks

LOL...they probably do it all the time...

it's not the big windshield you need to worry about. it's the little corner one. it will cost you an arm and a leg to replace little ones like that.

Just saw the pics, there is no way he painted it. I agree, that does not look good and I would be upset.

I just realized how much of an IDIOT you are. it's called OVERLAY because it was laid OVER the roof. Instead of an actual roof piece. Even a cap would be an overlay. an "overlay" is called that because it's a vinyl piece that lays OVER the headlight/taillight. Overlay =/= Sticker.


PS. if you think Im harsh...just look up his 1800+ posts...I'll be surprised if you can count anything positive out of him with more than 1 hand.
