Here be my Cobalt's progression.

$200 spent so far.

painted rims/hubcaps
tinted windows
debadged sides and back
darkened tail lights
replaced rear speakers (free, old ones I had laying around, still way better
than stock)
put in my sub box (took out of molly's grand prix because she listens to
country)
cleaned the shit out of the inside, but still needs seat covers since
molly's brother fucked up the seats (cigarette burns, etc)

comments? please refrain from shit storming on it, I know its an $8,000 4
banger. but I got 39MPG driving to omaha ;)

I have no personal experience, but from what I've heard, it seems like
most anywhere will tint it, including dealerships. It's under the
table, but just go in with cash and ask them to do it. Worst you
could get is a 'no', but it seems like most routinely do it.

True. The main difference is price. Many shops want over $200 for a
full car, which is nuts

don't go to dealerships, they will send it to a car shop and then charge you
for the tint + the labor of taking the car there + the dealership mark ups
(ha, I worked at mitsubishi for 3+ years)
