Move this if it's in the wrong place. This car is hand built and they all vary. I've done 3 now and the bottom sweeps were all tight in different places and just a pain in general. This time I decided to pull the panels and see why. It was much easier to tint it this way. Tape the lock pawn so it doesn't get scratched. Remove the two hidden screws behind this rubber gasket and the two push in clips that are visible. Remove the 3mm Allen screw behind the panel. This cover pops off of the pull handle. Remove the 2 6mm Allen screws from the handle, then the handle comes off. There is one phillips screw in the outermost bottom of the door and 4x 2…

Has any one done one of these yet? It has a small rear window but it is up againts the engin bay. There is no acess to the window on the outside. It is covered by a hatch. Just wondering if too much heat would build up? http://www.thedctraveler.com/wp-content/up...lotus-exige.jpg

Done an elise yesterday and was winding the window down to put in the weather strip and was a thud the window came away from the mechanism/regulator and as being the last person to touch it had to "try" and fix it, it was a fecking nightmare spent abot 3-4 hours trying to fix it but with no joy at all, just wondering anyone else had this problem as a very common fault on these cars and the first and last lotus I have done, ended up telling the customer to put it in to lotus to get fixed and keep the money he owed me for the tint so in total about 6-7 hours on this fecking thing with no money

Auto window tint claims/performance question
Thank you for the explanation gentlemen. I definitely learned something new today. As a average consumer, say you pay for a specific type/brand of tint but after you get the car back, how does one knows that tint on the car is what you asked for? Thank you again. -

Help me pick?!
How long the shop has been around helps but the work they do is more telling. There are shops I know that have been "around" longer than I have but I was killing them in quality from the start. Here I am 24 years in. Go look at the work they do. -

Auto window tint claims/performance question
So you aren't measuring IR but a generic "solar heat". I've got the old analog btu meter and it was a cool tool but I don't use it and have not for probably 20 years. You are way overthinking this.- 1

Hey guys, correct if I'm wrong but isn't " V-Kool " a gimmick film. Apparently something about it reflects IR instead of absorbing it ?? Any knowledge on this film? -

How -tough- is the scratch coat
On a SUV, when u have it loaded up, and you know when something/somethings will touch the back glass (if tinted), I often throw a mover towels ontop as I have definately replaced rear tint in this due to it getting scratched.... Which got me thinking or over -thinking. Movers towel while not hard is not exactly soft... Do I need to throw a *soft* microfiber towel on it so if it rubs against the back glass, it won't scratch the tint. -

What is the best value plotter to cut PPF and window tints?
I just purchased a warehouse to open up a wrap shop to apply PPFs, window tints, and vinyl wraps to customer vehicles. What is the best value plotter to get? I want something that will be reliable, has a really good software that is easy to use and saves film, and something that would break the bank. Ive heard of brands like the Workhorse 2, Graphtec fc9000, and Jaguar V LX 72". What do you guys recommend?! Thank you so much for the help! -

Help me pick?!
Xpel shop has been around for more than 15yrs Llumar and Autobahn one around 4 3m probably around 15+ too. But there was one review questioning the authenticity of film. So staying away from it. So probably out of Xpel, Llumar ans Autobahn -

Help me pick?!
High dollar quotes may be representative of; 1) high overhead costs or 2) wanting to stand out in a crowded field through a price illusion of having the best. Most all 'ceramic' films in the industry come within 5 or so percentage points of each other in terms of TSER. The amount of difference is trivial in comparison to overall performance, while occupying the car. Write each one down on a small piece of paper, put them in a bowl, and blindly pick one. Then, get an idea of what their workmanship looks like by visiting their shop, what the product might look like on your vehicle, and what might be their service history rating from online apps. Workmanship outweighs all other factors. I cannot pick for 'you'.
