Fesler is working on a flush glass set up for our cars. If your not in a rush you may want to shoot him a PM to get on the list.

Pilkington is the best USA option. Mayhem and my 67 Camaro has Pilkington classics.
Pilkington only has clear and green tint. Pilkington classics is in Columbus, Ohio. The smoked glass comes from overseas vendors.

I got the smoked kit from a previous vendor on here. I was not impressed. Yes, it came from overseas, Thailand according to the stickers and the quality wasn't very good. The back glass was essentially unusable as the curvature is way off. Around 0.75" too high in the middle. I was supposed to get a replacement but it never happened. Side glass was not bad, but there are some issues with the curve matching between the door and quarter that took a little bit of messing with.

Also the tint isn't really that dark. I would have preferred a little darker.

If you do go with the tinted, be sure you can replace easily if needed.

Woodrow.
