That shipping is ridiculous. 4 years ago, I paid $490 for a 4" Harwood cowl hood (glass) for my Camaro and it was only $90 to ship it to a business. I'm in the same boat, I love the hood and would love to have one for my car. Kind of pricey for just an appearance mod IMO, and finding one used within a 2 hour road trip is next to impossible.
PA tint is that you can have it completely blacked out on the sides and rear glass, but the front windows and windshield must be stock. I got pulled over once for tint in my other ride (TBSS), front windows were tinted to match the rear factory.
