kingsuv Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 If you don't like the silver tint then tinting over it won't change that. Doubling the tint can cause problems. The extra tint might heat up the glue on the original tint causing bubbles. It can make it darker then you want. The shop probably won't warranty the new tint over the old. 200 bucks to pull it is way to much. Take hospital grade blades and baby soap and scrape it off yourself.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needlesnpins Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 it shouldnt cost 200 to remove, esspecially if you are getting new tint after from the same place. around my way the most reputable place in town charges around 50 bux to remove IF you are getting all your new tint done from them.

goinpro Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 we charge the same amount to take off as to put on most of the time...tint is a pain in the ass to take off most of the time, sometimes you can get lucky and take it of easily but in my own personal experience it has been a pain in the ass. And then to re tint over you have to make sure all the glue is off and you have all the tint off the window or it will just fuck everything up. and if you have defroster lines on your rear window dont even try taking that off. That is the hardest part about any removal and thats what takes the most time then anything Quote 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 S HU: AVIC-D2 Fronts: ARC Audio KAR KS6006 Components AA Poly Mids/ CDT CW-19 Tweets in kicks Front Amp: Profile AP400x2 Rear Fill: None Sub: DC LVL 4 (CF Dustcap) x2 (waiting for dustcaps) AMP: RF t10001bd x2 (1400-1500 @ 1 ohm) Wire: Welding Supply/Lighting Audio 1/0 Power/Ground Zero Noise 2.0zn RCA (x2) 260 Amp Iraggi Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
