i got like 3-4 rolls of window tints and had them for a long time and i want them put on now. does anyone here know how and will volunteer to put em on? i dont wanna get a professional to do it and get charged 150 bucks. i will pay who ever does it though. so if u know how or u know someone that knows and will do it for me just tell me and we will see when we can do it.

No offense man but $150 isn't that much, would you rather risk having a bad install done that will look like crap just to save a few bucks?

I would JUMP at the chance to have it professionaly done for 150

Cheapest i can find is about 275 plus tax

The reason they gave me for costing so much was the big badass rear window. Apparently its more difficult to tint b/c of its size and shape. And probably also because it would have to be done upside down lol

just spray paint the inside of your rear window any color you want itlooks good

I did it to mine and I really like it

and know one can see in at my stareo system either...

sounds like an idea thats probly illegal but why do that when i already have the tints. the tints r in my room i just need someone to put em on

actually the back window can b as opaque as you like and its legal (just look at cargo vans). the prob w/ that is u havta ask u'rself "do i like to see cars behind me....would i like to see if a cop is following me"
had limo tint back there for a DAY, then started asking those questions.

as for the side windows, i think u havta stay like 30% or so.
i'd suggest if you have extra, toss it on, see how it looks. worst that'll happen is it looks bad and u rip it off and try again. u probably have as much experience w/ it as any of us do.

u can easily get tinted for less than 150, but its the kind that'll peel and fade in a year. its the lifetime gaurenteed ones that are around 300

so r u sayin the stuff i got is the crap thatll peel off within the year? i wouldnt be surprised it is the stuff from crappy tire.

i can't say one way or the other cuz i'm no expert. since u have it anyway u might as well see how long it does last, and if its shite it will at least give u time to save up for the good stuff.

i'm just saying try it if u'v got it, and remember do NOT open u'r windows for 2-4 days after putting it on.

That may not be a bad idea, I've been thinking about it for a while. Although I'm not sure if memory serves me right, but there is a place in Sauga that does it for around $175 or close to that.

Spend the money and get it done professionally, it will be cheaper in the long run that way.
