Thread: Window Tint ... Deciding how dark.

just found this guy on ebay, seems he can cut and ship any cars tint pre cut. the back window for the regal is like 10 bucks, pre cut. this is the route i think im taking for the back window as the tint shop wants 60 for the tint in hand or 100 to install it on the back window. and i cant find a big enough sheet to do it in one piece at any auto stores and i dont want to do it in 2 pieces. this would have made doing the doors so much easier in the long run.

No one read this or no one has gotten the Air Blue that has a HUD?

Not sure what type of tinting you are gonna get, but it is probably pretty cheap stuff to cost that little. Don't count on it lasting long, looking good, performing well (heat rejection, UV protection, etc) or having any sort of warranty. Even if it does have a warranty, it probably states that it has to be installed by a dealer, so either way you are SOL if it doesn't work. I suggest getting a professional to install it, and getting good tinting like Llumar or another brand that actually does something and has a warranty. My Llumar has a lifetime warranty.

the tint is made for this company, Precision Window Films they are in FL, and have a shop. they tell me they have the tint made for them exclusively and they sell to other shops in their area. and it will take a heat gun and shrink to fit just like any other hi end tint will.

if you go to the site, and check out the reviews you can see that they sell a boat load of tint every month. any negative reviews look to be user failure on the install.

and you only get a warranty if you pay to have it installed, im not paying 100 bucks just for a back window, F that crap. after all i just did all 4 door windows my self, and they came out pretty good, im no pro but it works for me.

this is the response i got when i emailed them with questions regarding what tint they sell and if it would shrink with a heat gun and not melt.

Dear scottydoggs,

Hello Scott,

We offer our own brand of film
"Precision Window Films". It is produced for us and to our specifications
by the worlds best manufactures.
Yes you can use a heat gun to heat shrink
it, you will lneed to on your rear windshield. Let us know if you have any
other questions.

Thank you,
Ami

so for 15 bucks or so im diving in and getting it done! they also sell whole kits for any car, all pre cut, for around 60 and up, witch i wish i had found them before i went through the trouble of cutting my own off a roll.

my thinking is, if they sell in bulk like this the price goes down for us all.

hey, if it works well and it's a fair price and you are willing to accept the risk. Go for it. Good luck, I much prefer paying a little bit more $ and having a lifetime warranty.
