Phil94850 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Finally got me DIY tint job done and it doesnt look to bad. the pros wanted 120.00 i did it for basically 60.00 bucks ive got into it since i screwed up the first time ( wouldve been alot less). I still have to finish the front two windows im trying to decide if i wanna stick with 20% or go 35% which is what the state allows. the the hardest was the back window. i ended up going to autozone and purchasing tint for curved back windows. the tint is in 6"x24' roll and i had to cut 5 strips to cover my back window. the instructions say to overlap the tint but if you do you can see the lines from the outside so i took my time and butted the edges together and you cant hardly see anything looks like one piece. trust me .. if you take your time you can save yourself alot of money... heres some pics let me know what you guys think....

the underlørd Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think you should have left it to the pros. but i hope it doesn't bubble in 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Looks excellent, job well done... hopefully it won't bubble. looks good though... how dark are the fronts? Think there's nothing on there... he stated he was debating between 20 and 35 for the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil94850 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 the fronts havent been done yet...the law allows 35% so im trying to decide if i wanna stay with 20% or be a law obideing citizen the back window looks dirty in the pic.. it has soap residue and i havent cleaned it off yet. im waiting for the tint to cure before i touch the glass or anythingthanks for the props jhe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
850glslow Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 yeah you can just roll your fronts down if you see a po though..... i just wish i went darker in front becasue it looks a bit funny. definatly makes a dramatic difference to the look of your car though. tint = mandatory B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVette Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 120 to have it done by pros... that is an amazing deal. I think its gonna cost somewhere in the 200 neighborhod to get mine done. I hate NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil94850 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 200....... dammmmmmnnnnnn your kiddin.... i guess its not bad livin in the midwest. NYC is great but wouldnt wanna live there. seems like everything costs so much.yeah 850 i agree... its a bummer having to have lighter tint. I had a saab 900 turbo when i was in the military and i was stationed in cali for about 6mo. and they made me rip it off. i was pissed !!! most cops around here are pretty easy about it though. i see cars running around all the time with super dark tint on all windows. i dont wanna give em a reason though so i think im gonna go with the 35 on the front and be done with it.
