Glass Backs

Any one got pics of their glass back windows? I have a feeling that they are MAJORLY smaller compared to stock. My stock one (being plastic) is fairly big and when the top goes down it folds, so THAT leads me to believe that a glass window would be MAJORLY smaller compared to a regular plastic window.

I want to replace mine soon for tint, I think a white vert with black tint all around would look KILLER. Can't wait to do more to this thing, it's currently parked due to a tranny problem.

TIA

Dan

Thanks, It looks fairly close to stock. How much did that run ya? Got a website to where it got done? Topsonline didn't come up

Also, how do you like 20%? I run 35% and find it's not enough during the day and too much at night in some areas, but then again I drive in dark areas all the time. It's also illegal to have up here.


How can you tell your car is USUALLY #1 on cardomain? I'm on there and my cars VERY nice too :P

it's apprx. $400 and it looks awesome

and i love the 20% so far. it's dark enough for me. the back is5%

and i can tell that it's #1 most of the time b/c i search only '91 Camaros and mine came up #1 like a whole month in a row


and yes your car is very nice i like it alot. you need some new wheels though, not to be mean, i got new ones too

I may have a stayfast top that I had bought for my 91 for sale. It has the plastic window. Iam sure I can beat topsonline's prices. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks

Blue, I got new wheels too. I'm waiting for the snow salt and ugliness of winter to go away (daily driven beast).

Chrome, 18's and 275's all 4 corners.

I was going to go with zr1's, but my friend has them on his red 92 hardtop so I went with a different look.

Can't wait to post pics.
