I would never trust myself to tint a new car....I'd pay the $150 for some1 else to do a nice job.

Youngin · January 21st, 2007, 03:06 PM

well jeez thats helpful lol yeah i got my windows done by the pro's but what im tryna do are the lights . and i didnt wanna pay 250 for all of it . and my windows costed 140 and i gave 60 for tip

232stang · January 21st, 2007, 03:08 PM

well, just cut them and make sure its prefect cuts. and then put it on. if it looks bad take it off. or bite the bullet and buy the precut ones off ebay

GreenFaleen · January 21st, 2007, 03:10 PM

I would take the lights off if I could make a card board cut out of them. Use that to get the tint the right size and go from there take your time and don't rush should look good.

Youngin · January 21st, 2007, 03:22 PM

well i dunno how to take it off =T

DSEZ · January 21st, 2007, 03:24 PM

i pulled up the headlights

i guess ill try and see if i can get taillight instructions

Youngin · January 21st, 2007, 03:26 PM

dont stress it i dont plan on taking it out . im just gonna try if all fails ill pay the 300 and if it goes well get ready for pictures!!

DSEZ · January 21st, 2007, 03:37 PM

i cant find anything on it...probably a couple bolts after you pull the panels out of the trunk.. believe it was 4 bolts for 99-04

itschristorres8 · January 21st, 2007, 08:57 PM

i wish i had the directions but its pretty easy aside from the bubbles

take a hose rinse your lights with water after you've cleaned them.

take the first strip and either put it from top to bottom on and then use the squegee from the middle to the outsides or since your lights are thinner go from top to bottom with the suegeee

if you need to put more water

use the squegee to get out all the bubbles if you have a hard time getting out a bubble then take a sharp pin or staple or knife prick the bubble with the smallest lil whole possible just so air can get out. then run it over with the squegee(i didnt have to do that but now that i know i would)

then proceed witht the rest then once done stare and look

mikethetigerrr · January 22nd, 2007, 01:30 AM

i wouldnt try to make it fit perfect, cut it like a quarter inch bigger and fold it in, then use a knife to push it in straight.

stanged out · January 22nd, 2007, 01:33 AM

yea i did pretty much did the same thing as chris exept i didnt feel like going and buying a squegee so i used a playing card ... water with a tiny bit of soap n it should stick like glue..

GotBoost232 · January 22nd, 2007, 02:02 AM

mhmm i agree water and soap....dont be like me...i put a mm sticker on my car it was 16 degrees out and it wouldnt stick....so the "e and d" are slightly crooked....but i did it real fast on the other side and it came out just fine....
