Beanz Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 id say just call up tint shops and see how much they charge Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

Jared420 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 id say just call up tint shops and see how much they charge To me, it wasn't that easy I tried it once with a friend a few years ago in our cars and its hard to make the cuts perfect and get your solution good to fit without bubbles. Im sure a ton of people can tint themselves, not me. I took my truck to a really nice place here in mass and they tint commercial and residential buildings too, they have an auto cutter machine, they did an amazing job and I got my ext cab tinted 10% in the back and back side windows over my factory tinted glass, and the state limit driver and passenger window for $200, they did my friends altima for 230$ just because cars are a bit harder especially with the rear window. I felt like that was a pretty good deal Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8outtaneb Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 yeah they wanted somewhere between 250 and 300 for an impala but i guess if that sounds about right based on the prices you say... it didnt look to hard on the videos ive watched but i figured id ask smd Quote fuck the consequences ain't nothin to a boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatBox Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 its not hard but takes patience, iv done a few cars and i still cant get it perfect. but cant expect perfect from DIY tint i can only do side windows and flat rear glass. i can also windshield strips those are the easiest to do.... for doors take your door panels off so you have room to hide your tint an in or two below the door panel. get really good razor blades and a good rubber squeegie. then i use filtered water with soap...works for me. and usually the darker the tint the ticker the tint and easier to work with, the lighter the harder either way if you patient it will come out good. GL hope this helps. PS personally i wouldnt pay over $200 to get my windows tinted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here its around 120 for he back half and 200 for everything, I refuse to pay that to some half ass shop that doesn't even know what 0% tint is, they go by 1-5 1 being "limo" tint. As for quality tint everyone says wal-mart if you're buying locally. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachfowler222 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 WOW those prices are nuts! the place i work its $100 and 140 for strip and retint. they are knocking peoples heads off the best tint they have out only cost 180 per roll and that will tint 10 cars. plus we offer a lifetime warranty, so if it discolors, bubbles, gets scratched, and anything else really 20 years from now we replace it for free.
