Well I have learned a lot reading these forums at it appears the most important aspect of tinting is having a good tinter

So who here knows or is a good tinter that can tint my car

I live in York region in ontario Canada, more specificically Aurora, I'm of course willing to drive a bit out of the way.

My car is a 2004 grand prix 4 door.

I am looking for lifetime warranty tint that will not interfere with my radio antenna that is built into the rear window

would prefer the best quality film available

and tinted that is legal of course

if someone could please let me know of someone it would be great

Thanks

and I bet you want to pay no more than 99 doll ars for all that? :lol2

well that woudl be delightful but I doubt anyone who does a good job would charge $99..

I'm not looking for a cheap piece of @#$% quick job.. I'm looking for a good quality stand by their product job who gives a lifetime warranty on the film.

and I'm presuming that means it will cost around the $250-300cdn mark unless I'm missing something

I'm 2 hrs away from you ...but I've done enough of these cars to ease any concerns you might have :spank

Done with a lifetime warranty film ..can black vinyl the top portion for you if you wish (AM reception is only affected with metalize film sometimes) and all gaskets removed and replaced so tint is well below felt (no peeling issues) These are some of the things I would ask for when phoning around .

Not THE way to tint this car..

...only A way :heh

Where abouts are you? I may be able to do it depending on which city as I do travel around a bit.

I must admit, I am not sure what benefit the black vinyl at the top portion does but I would be interested in finding out

...but seriously..there should be plenty of qualified tinters closer to you  :eyebrows

[*]315237

yeah that is a bit out of the way from any normal travels I do

I'm sure there are plenty, just hard to find them.. afterall even the worst tinter is going to claim he does a good job.. and since I'm not an expert it's hard to tell what makes a good tint job a great tint job

My best advice to you Giant would be to ask for a lifetime warranty film , make sure the TINTER (not the shop itself)has a few good yrs under his/her belt.

(A pizza restaurant is only as good as it's pizza maker on shift :rollin )

And the the final thing I can think of off hand would be to actually go to th shop and see some of the work they've done ...that way you get to judge the workmanship on someone elses wheels B4 spending a dime :rollin

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      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

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
