Porsche 944

I got a custy that has a porsche 944 and needs the windows tinted I saw it and i feel it is possible to do but he said other shops wouldnt touch it because the glass was to soft for heating and would scratch when cutting the back glass. I wan't to do it just to say I have accomplished that car. I got the Vettes and Bugs down in one peice now im ready to step it up. I would appreciate it if any one could give me some heads up.

you got your work cut out for you there have funnnnnn and a few of these

all i can say....better you then me.. ...the only way i would even touch one of those..is if they paid me 7-8 bills.

you better be REAL good.

Consider it a rite of passage Matt.



Even if you do get it down in less than 5 or 6 pieces, you are still going to make some mistakes.

May the force be with you.

After the job ofcourse.

dont forget to put your helmet on

You will probably need a broomstick to hold that POS up.

Sooo funny..............Soooo True!!!!!

or some vise grips. I used a broom stick and almost killed myself. I have done 3 944's in the past. They get better but not easier. I hate that rubber fin along the bottom of the rear window. Also the black border that is always cracked and flakeing off. The rear window wiper motor doesn't help either.
But like TD said it is a right of passage. Let us know how it goes.

At the very least. And only then if i am REALLY slow and hungry. It's definately a rite. Not everyone can say they've done one. I could have lived my life quite happily without ever having touched one. Some cars just weren't meant to be tinted, and thats one of them. Sure they can be done, but why go thru all that aggravation for the money they are most likely wanting to pay. There is an upside tho. Unless they just bought it, and you are the first one they called, they should already be prepped for the sticker shock.

My advise (Unless you are just a masochist) ........................



JUST SAY NO!!!!!

if it's your first,be ready to pull your hair out...but when you get it done,the feeling of accomplishment is awesome
have fun

We got swindeled into doing 2 of those a couple months ago....

I can honestly say.... never again.... I got one in 2 pieces (eventually) and one of my guys did one in 3 pieces (mostly because the roll of film was almost gone.)

Best of luck dude!

Good luck! I did one in one piece, but the relieif cuts were pretty big. Be patient and have your schedule cleared for a whole day.

2 Pieces? Dude, you're my new HERO!! The best I have ever seen is 4, MY personal best is 5. You are the man!!!

MAN i hATE That CAR...........3 Hour rear window if your From The South
CHOMP CHOMP

What I didn't tell you was I spent 6 hours and darn near a roll of film to get it in 2 ..... Live and learn is what I figured...

Thanks for all the good lucks guys but whats up with the soft glass for cutting and heating. Should I be worried?

Maybe that was a line the other shops fed him to get rid of him and not have to do it ?

the feeling will be, MAN I should of charged more, all that time wasted when I could of tinted 3 normal cars and not have cussed one time............

I've only done the sides on one because the rear was already done, and the front sides even pissed me off good luck, I will never touch one unless I own one and if I owned one I would sure want everyone to see me

Oh yeah baby! I just love the way the painted border falls off when it gets wet! POS. Glad I haven't seen one in about 17 years LOL.

Never have, never plan to....

Funny, just had a customer call me today to buy the "kit"for it and tint it himself. I told him i'd be more than glad to just sell the film since I wanted nothing to do with it!

last one i did was about 5 years ago and in 3 pieces. i hope to never see one pull into the parking lot again.
