More than likely a waste of $230. 20% all around, probably won't take too long for the VA police to pull me over and give me a ticket. Oh well, it will look good while I have it! When (not if) I get my ticket I'll get lighter tint put on. Too bad the darkest you can get legally in VA is 50%.

i guess they didnt tint the front then lol... did you check 2 places atleast? When i got my 20"s delivered, i needed them mounted... called 1 place.. told me xx per wheel... called 2nd place... and it was $5 cheaper... so i called 1st place back... told them #2 said $10 cheaper... and vua-la (i cant sound it out) i got it for $15 cheaper than he originally told me!

LBC is a SLICKDEALER... if your paying retail... might as well get a hyundai!

Okay okay, I get the point, I got ripped off!!

Basically though, the town I'm in only has the one place (that I know of) and they came highly recommended by my boss. So a recommendation from someone I trust, a lack of competition for them, and illegal tint on everything but the windshield... I can't really blame them for charging $230. At least, I don't think I can.

LBC, as far as being a slick dealer, I know man, I see the threads about clearance sales and wholesale deals and whatnot. It reminds me of a nursing home where all the old ladies clip coupons as a hobby. No offense!!
