Clif Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 So I dont think i seen anything on here but I was thinking about starting a thread on Window Tinting... I have done a few cars myself and each one i do turns out better and better. Just had a question. I have always put the tint on the inside of the window, but the other day saw someone do it on the outside of the window.... Why would you want to put tint on the outside window? or are you even suposed to? 03 Trailblazer EXT LT In Dash Rear Flip Down Polk Audio Font & Rear Stage Hifonics Zeus 4 Chan Amp Hifonics Brutus Mono Amp 12" Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 T-Line tuned to 45hz 18"BTL T-line @31Hz (9 weeks pregnant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoleman134 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 i didn't know you could put it on the inside? i think you might be putting it on wrong bro. is it harder to see out than in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 you're supposed to put it on the inside. protects it from the elements. or else it could get scratched up a bunch and whatnot. like steves civic...he wouldnt have had to bust out the back window to retint it. it might not make a TON of difference...but i'd feel safer with mine on the inside (mine was done on the inside also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its put on the outside first to cut out the shape of the window... it is then applied to the inside. That is why you saw it on the outside. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.
