Default Tinting windows?

I really like how the tinted soft top windows look however my widows aren't. I was wondering if it is possible to tint the soft top windows or buy tinted soft top windows? Thank in advance for your responses.

I have heard of guys getting the replacement plastic windows in a darker tint but not literally putting tint on them.

Ground Pounder - It looks like bestop has a lot of interesting products! It does look like they have tinted windows, but it appears that they must be used with their top (not the factory top), so to use their windows you would have to buy their top too.

Best Top has replacement tinted windows, and I think they are the manufacturer for OEM. They were for the TJ top. Mopar has replacement tinted windows as well. i think I saw them for around $200 on their website. About as much as getting glass windows tinted.

i bought the best top replacement tinted skins... just took my windows off and zipped the others on... they fit just fine.

by the way, it is cheaper to buy the best top skins, which i got from one of the big two jeep parts suppliers, rather than buying tinted windows skins from jeep.

one replacement window because someone cut mine from jeep was going to be about 200 bucks. all three of the best top tinted windows were right about the same as one from jeep...

but, i know they fit. i have them.

You'll find that many people reagard best top as the...well.. best top company out there. They have a lot of good products, but they're best known for their tops. In fact, I beleive they are producing the Jeep's soft tops right now (At least the sunrider). Must be doing well enough to get the contract from chrysler!
