Last reply by NorCalNoob, -
I am suprised that nobody has mentioned this car. This is the one with the back glass that has 90 degree curves on both sides. I have done two in my life and never want to see another in my shop again! Thank goodness they don't design them like that anymore!

Hey, I just got a call about tinting a Sky. I can't even say I have seen one other than the pictures online just now. Should this be an easy one or a PITA? Anyone?

i have a 1994 twin cam... 1 2 3
by Guest curiousjane- 27 replies

Hi lovely Tintdude people: I notice people aren't fans of putting film on old Saturns. I've been wanting to get a film forever on my 94 twin cam, since it gets hot here in LA. I am looking at Charcool (maybe - I actually don't want color, just to block UV and heat...), and I have found (online) a reputable installer (though if you have suggestions, feel free) here. But should I worry about whether they're going to do it right? Are there enough people with old Saturns putting films on that most installers will have had experience with it? Will it be obvious if they do a bad job? I am not a "car person." Your input is much appreciated.

did a saturn aura sat. at saturn there mobile tint guy out of business. customer very picky last tinter did the back glass 2 times already it was a small spot nothing to worry about but the asked me to redo the window anyways . I noticed after I cut the patern to match the way the last tinter cut around the brack light you had to remove the rear deck which when taken out the rear break light comes out with it. what a pain in the ass. but easy to to tint with nothing blocking you from the window. wouldn't want to tint aura every day. nothing hard about the car just removing rear deck not what I want to do for a back glass .

1992 Saturn Sedan 1 2 3

Tried one of these yesterday with nooooo luck. tried 35NR on rear glass, in one piece. Dryer sheet (couldn't find my ivory). I could not for the life of me get it to shrink right. I've seen a bunch of these cars 2-pieced, is that a lot easier on these? If so, whats the technique. I'm extremely frustrated on this one, luckily it is a friends car. Any help, hints, trix on this window would be greatly appreciated.

2008 Astra (5dr)
by Guest rubberbizkitt- 0 replies

Not very difficult and pretty quick to complete. 4 doors and a hatch. no 1/4 glass. Door glass frame trim do not come out like the Ion, at least I don't think they do. I didn't feel the need to try and remove them. Front doors are simple, theres alot of room so you can cut your tint big. Rear doors are a little tight on the back edge so be generous on your cut. back glass is small, less then 18" high. Slight curve with a few fingers to shrink.

One of the regional facilities managers from a chain of banks wants this done for his daughter. He brings me a fair amount of commercial work. Any info on this car and its difficulty? I want to cut him a good deal as long as its not a PITA. I know the older ones are big time PITA. Thanks for any info. FB

Hey everyone, is anybody here a fan of Michael Waltrip?. I love NASCAR and I just was looking on the NAPA site (one of his sponsors) and found their new Spin-Flow filter. Im thinking about getting one for my car but I need some feedback on it. I know that NAPA makes the best so I?m not worried about its quality, but I would like to hear other peoples opinion on it:) Oh, there is also some instant win contests running. I found everything at the links below. Check them out, the sites are pretty cool! <snip> No spam please

Saturn Vue

The inner top piece of plastic on all four door panels may scratch the surface of film when windows are raised and lowered. The solution is to line this area with felt that has adhesive backing. (at least I hope it is) We had to redo one today so keep this in mind.

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

The Off Topic Thread
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 window tint!
Hi everyone, I need help picking the best window tint for my car. I want to get a ceramic film and have gotten few quotes. Now while comparing them it got me confused. Here are my options listed from most to least expensive. Xpel XR Autobahn Black Ceramic Llumar CTX or 3M Ceramic IR I am looking for perfomance and longevity. -

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'.
