Window Tint

coltonrobertson · September 30th, 2007, 08:28 PM

Is it hard to install the window film? Also how long do u think it would take?

xSxTxAxNxGx · September 30th, 2007, 08:41 PM

by urself? i have no clue my friend got it done by a local guy and it looks absolutly amazing

I did all mine myself. Saved me $100. I have a vert so its a bit easier because its open at the top of the windows. Not only that, I didnt do the back window. For the other 4 windows, it took me about 2 hours. I took my time and did it right.

i would have a shop do it. 2 reasons:

1 - the back window is a bitch
2 - good shops usually offer lifetime warranties so if it bubbles or peals, they replace it for free

I agree, I had mine done at a shop.

dont do it yourself . i tried doing the windows and the lights . and ended up with so many bubbles. the 100-200 on tints is worth it .

i wanted to do mine but they told me $240 plus tax so 320 something then he said on the back window he could only tint up to the dots and stop there not tint over them so i dont think that would look very good what did you guys do for the back did you grind the dots off or just go over them

+1 i have seen it done many times

Blackbeauty v601 · October 1st, 2007, 02:39 AM

they told me it would leave too many air bubbles so should i go back and smack him and get it done for 240?

you should take a flat blade and scrap the dots off... then take it back to them ...

coreysr5 · October 1st, 2007, 03:30 AM

Some things are much better with a warranty.

You should call around I got mine for $160 out the door(paid him under the counter). Auto One wanted $220 plus tax.. Very nice job too they just tinted over the dot matrix too. Doesn't look that bad but I wish I got a sticker over it from inside...

Doesn't work I didn't know about the dot matrix till it was done and I saw that it wasn't sticking to good to it and he said that was his only choice. He said some people sand the dots off but that doesnt help at all, some people glue the tint to the window but that only last so long then drys up and looks like ass, some people dont tint it at all.

He forgot to mention the black vinyl though... guess he never heard of it.
