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 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.

1st Gen Camaro is shipping now and we teamed up with Pilkington to make the best glass kit available. It is all made in North America no overseas crap and the fit and finish is awesome. It took us over a year for the Camaro and now that we have it down with them we will have 5-6 sets of new cars at SEMA this year. Keep your eyes open for a new poll on glass so we can build all the cars that are needed. We are working on 2nd Gen Camaro, 67 Mustang Fastback and Chevelle now. C-10 is next along with other Chevelle and Nova cars.
