Well I finally did it...that was something needed for a long time.

Went to visit Jim in Oakland to get the windows tinted. Superb service.
$250 cash as advertised. I thought I would drop a note as it is sometimes hard to find a good place for our vehicle - it's a tough job.

I went for the medium (15%) which gives a real factory look.

I found this the best theft protection available. I got my bus(s) broken into twice with no tinted windows. After Jim did the tint it has never happened again. You should paint the chrome trim on the mid section windows, it creates a sweet look. Thanks for posting the pics, I'. am sure other norcal bus owners appreciates it.

Because it's a Canadian van. I am from Quebec.
Not sure why but the outlet was in a different location on all Westy's.
