High Octane Tinting
Some how I've lucked up and been granted the privilege to tint a 1994 240SX, the back glass looks like it might be a pain to shrink, is there any hidden demons on these? Thanks for the help. thumb.gif

In 94 the only 240sx that was made was convertable. trust.gif

*89-93 240sx came as a coupe or a hatchback

*95-98 only a coupe version was offered in the US

The 89-93 hatchbacks are not bad... the coupes are hell... the back glass in
the afore mentioned coupes BG curves hard to the sides and top. It tends to
want to bunch up real bad in the top corners. I drive a 92 coupe... I hate
tinting my back window mad3.gif rollin.gif haha

The 95-98 240sx isn't nearly as bad of a compound curve. thumb.gif

Side D&P windows are EZ frameless glass... the rear sides are slightly
curved so a lil heat may be needed. Rear sides may or may not have a
small matrix. Some do... some don't hmmmmmmm.gif

Hope this helps!

O ya... I'm Jason Flaugh.gif Will introduce myself to all very soon. (240sx nut since 98)

Thanks Jason,
It must be a 1993, it's sad when a customer doesnt even know what they drive.

Just failed the s14 back window 3 hours ago.

Too curvy, film reached it's limit so creased some and couln't succeed.
Second time, I adjusted "H" position carefully to distribute the tension, it really took a hell of time to make it ok.

But putting it inside... like hell in the hell ! X(
1. huge back window and 2 doors design, just forget about using two arms delivery in
2. defrost line controller and inside/outside antenna cuts made reverse roll back and putting on extremely hard in such a nasty nallow space
3. hard to squeeg even using a bulldozer

I'm not satisfied with the result. So it's peeled off and no charge to my customer.

And side windows (even quarter windows!) are curvy both vert/horiz. A lot of fingers if not shrinked.

Damn... Maybe I should't choose this car for my first customer's car to start my career. Deeply frustrated... X|
VIP tint + glass
yeah thats a tough one.

wish i had pics of the tint job i did on my sisters.

i put mirror japanese animation faces with hair going down the sides.

a guys face on the driver with edgy hair goin down.

and a girls face with wavy hair goin down the sides.

it got totaled one night and the cop looks at me and says "you gotta get that tint taken off after this"

Did a 93 240sx coupe today. Back window is a pain but got it ok. Then I notcied the computer cut out the antennae square on the wrong side lol. Thanks. I wonder if they came with 2 different windows on that car? Other than that, pretty easy

I'm thinking when the pattern was scanned into the computer, the liner must have been facing the wrong way, resulting in a Flip-Flop of the pattern...all backwards. dunno.gif Maybe patternmaker can chime in on this! thumb.gif

some times the pattern guys are thinking of other things(imagine that!) we are after all human

lol it's all good. I also did an 09 Escalade yesterday and on the right rear quarter glass there were two circles cut for the antennaes but there is only one element on the window.

I tinted a Q's 200sx today, which is the flat faced boot coupe 200sx, I actually hate tinting these things! There are quite a few getting imported from Japan to Ireland and they normally come tinted but real sh1t stuff.

The only way i found to shrink the rear screen is to raise your 'H' line up, so the top corners dont become an issue and you can displace the tension throughout the rest of the screen.

I checked one out when I was home and I was excited to do it!

I'm glad I didn't now though, after hearing the stories! homer.gif






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
