Not sure mate. I'm on the other side of the world so I have no idea who Pep Boys are.
You should be able to buy it from a glass shop, car parts retailer or a specialist car tinting company.

FrizzleFried:
...buy tinted plexi.  Glass shops stock it.

That would be the worst option to choose.

You can get tinted glass in bronze and grey. If you want to go darker, plexi is your best bet. I just bought two pieces of Lucite Perspex, one for my Galaxian, on for my Star Wars.

Color number is 923, but a good dealer should have a sample chain.

It probably is the worst option but I was just answering his question on how to tint plexi glass.

Glass is the best option but in some instances its not practical.
