hey guys want to ask you a question. l am planning on tinting my windows.l want to know if it is something l can do myself or needs to be done by a professional? has anyone tint their windows by themselves?thanks

 

If I were you, I'd pay to have it done professionally. It's a LOT harder than it looks to do tint right, even on cars as "boxy" as ours. A buddy of mine (who does window tint for a living) spent about 3 hours on doing my car. Plus, it's gonna cost you a lot more to have bad tint removed than it will to just get it fdone right the first time.

 

Pay to have it done. Around my area its $165. Well worth having someone do it right. I've never seen a DIY job that didn't look like crap.

 

LOL thanks guys. l guess l will let a professional do it.thank you.

 

I've done 3 of my own cars, all held up great and look near perfect. The tough part is not getting the window seal felt in the tint, so I always remove the glass, I couldn't do it no other way. The last car I had done was my 960, I paid to have it done because I wanted good tint and the cost of the tint was only about $80 different than paying the pro's to do it so I let them do it.

I want to get my wagon done and want to pay to have it done. I have seen professional jobs go bad a few years later so be careful about who you use. It's best to use a place that new car dealers use, not just anyplace. You can also ask what brand of tint they use. Lumar is best, and 3M products. The rear window is the toughest, usually 3 strips work best but you have to be careful to get it on with tight seams.

 

Just wondering if anyone has had their Note's rear screen, quarter lights and side windows tinted (rather than buying a car with them done as standard). How long did the process take, how much did you pay, and how dark a tint did you get?
