New Tinted Glass Kits - XV Motorsports
« on: October 31, 2007 - 01:39:22 PM »
 

We're now offering tinted glass kits.

We've have had all kinds of problems getting good glass. 
After much more work than I ever thought it would take, we've now got a great solution in place.

You can get all the details here:  XV Tinted Glass Product Sheet

And the products are here on our website:  Tinted Glass

Too spendy for me, but I'm cheap.  Looks like a very good product though, I'm sure it'll be a hit.   :2thumbs:

We have the back glass as well. 
Just waiting for a hard number on the price and we'll update it.

That's awesome these parts are now being offered once again.  They may be pricey for some, but knowing they were produced by XV I think it's safe to say the quality is top notch like all the other industry firsts they've created. :cheers:  Nice job on opening up the market for new door/quarter glass, John. :clapping: :2thumbs:

Any truth that the OEM challenger glass and cuda glass is slightly different but interchangeable? I think I'd pay those prices, but maybe wait and see if they come down like the suspension kits did. One question. Website shows shipping to residence as $100 and business is $150. Sounds backwards to me.

Cuda and Challenger glass is the same.  Convert vs hard top is different. 

The shipping prices were reversed - good catch!

We've had really big problems getting good glass, to the point it began holding up finishing builds.
Problems were finding any, finding any that fit, quality issues where finishing was really bad, and more.

It took far more work than I ever expected to get a solution in place.

At this point I'm really happy we're able to get good new glass - at all. 
It doesn't appear that there is alot of volume on the glass side for these cars, otherwise there would be more choices.
So, for right now, we've got this, but it may not be available long term.

This isn't an item where our costs will go down over time, because the volume will likely never be there. 
So, this is one item I wouldn't expect to see the price go down on, and at some point it may not be available at all.

After having gone virtually everywhere - I'll say it again - I'm happy we're able to get this at all.

The price might be high but people need to remember when we couldnt get anything for these cars. I am happy you are offering your suspension and other parts for sale to the do-it-yourselfer. You could easily keep your toys to yourself and the well heeled individuals that are buying your cars. Doing a car today beats the hell out of the bush beating festivals of 20 years ago. Kind of weird, then you could buy the cars dime a dozen with no parts support from the aftermarket and factory. Today we have most everything we need to restore or modify these cars but now its like looking for hens teeth to find a car  :crazy:

I have to admit...new glass would be awsome! The price isn't as bad as I thought. Even the best used glass must not compare to new.
