Just did this Mustang yesterday. A heads up, it has a third brake light mounted to the glass. It is held on by double side tape. I just removed it, cleaned the residue off and retaped it. Told the cust. to come back in a couple of days to put the light back on. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/151/420175374_8257441f12.jpg Charge more for it!

What in the hell were they thinking when they made the back glass?! Good God....anway I saw a thread on this already but no real advise or tips on it. I will remove the pneumatic arms and cut the holes after laying the film, but what about that lovely wiper motor? Does it need to be removed, or is there enough room to tuck and still get a in there to squeegee it down? And I didn't get a long look and it was from a decent distance, but where the defroster lines start, was it just me or are they out from the edge of the glass about 6 inches or so, if so is the connector tab right in the middle or is it at the top (I'm assuming in the middle, why would I get any breaks …

2000 Crown Vic Cop Car

hehe, so, here is my ride: 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Classic Black/White paintjob(and Im not changing it). I don't have a ton of cash to throw at it right now, but I want to get some tint on the windows. Here in Nevada, the law for it is 35% on the front side windows, No tint on the windshield, and no limit on the rear windows. Don't need it super dark, just dark enough to where people can't really make out any faces from the side/back. I still need to be able to have good visibility out the back and sides, since I do a bit of driving at night. Is 50% good for that, or can I go a little darker? I think I'll be getting one of these when I get plates, just to P…

Recently had a ford five hundred come back that I did about 8 months ago. Apparently the seal on the driver side window scratched the tint. Not just one scratch, numerous scratches going vertical. I checked all the other windows & not a single scratch! I told him I would get back with him on the matter. Then I recall a month earlier we had a phone call from a guy said another local shop tinted his new ford five hundred that he had just picked up from the dealership and within one week every single roll down window was scratched and the shop told him to take the vehicle to the dealer its something with the seals . Well the guy had finally gotten back to us a week or …

Here is a little tech article on a mustang forum about the tint getting scratched. they give a contact number to ford so mustang owners can complain to them and mabey ford will realize their design is flawed. also there are instructions on how to take the door panel off and put felt on if you guys need info on how to do it. http://www.mustangforums.com/m_1592410/tm.htm

'00 and up Tauras/Sable wagon
by Guest MidcoastMW- 5 replies

Is it just me, or is that bubble back glass on the wagons a PITA!!??? I've done it twice, one peice...but I always get a lil crease (about a lil 1"spot) right at the top left where that stoopid latch is. Obviosly you cant shrink that area with it there so the best I thought of without removing the glass was to shrink the rest, then pull the film down the 1/4-1/2" to accomodate and then shrink. No matter what, I get the damn crease!!!! Anyone else find this glass a pain? or am I just a dumb nooB??

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill -

Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go.

Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.- 2

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you
