I will tell You my mind about DIY.

Of course any job can be Done by Yourself, not only tinting - fixing, painting, glass changing e.t.c.

But...do You have any idea to by material and make jaenZ? To buy grain and make Vodka? NO?

Why do You want to tint Your car by Yourself? If for fun - don't ask what problems You will have. But if You simply don't want to pay for people who's business is WINDOW FILM INSTALLATION, and this $50-100-200 is very important for you - simply DON'T TINT a car. You will also save $ buying this stuff.

But if you love Your car - WHY NOT? You will do it once, twice...five times...But if You love Your car - why not make love many times :lol6 ???

And.....I told it more times - not all small packages for Doing It Yourself :lol6

P.S. Is it clear waht I told? Long sentences not for my language knowledge :lol6

STi : The trick with these pre cut kits is to drink plenty of water before you fit it...lick the tint evenly then lick your windows and simply stick it on. I have seen many window lickers in my time, but not many of them are tinters....mostly customers

After you make a complete ballz of it get one of us to do it properly for you .......Your car's too cool to F**c up with crap tint, after all, you wouldn't service it yourself would you.......

A pro tinter will probably only cost..........one million dollars :lol2

If you value your "baby", then take it to a pro. Not trying to put it to the diy crowd, but you like doing all your own work, like probably oil changes and stuff. Do you buy the bargin recycled oil from the corner conv. store, or do you buy the good stuff. Why buy crap that wont last and you will have to remove the glue as you put it, and risk additonal damage, like scratches to your windows, etc. Pros, not the local hacks, take allot of pride in their work and work on more expensive cars than yours, no offense.

ok...I buy mobi 1..and I do more than oil changes....the price is not the issue...its people disrespecting my car or possibly driving it!

as for the actual tint.....I currently live in RI which is 70% but I'm moving to CT which is 35% if I get pulled over and have to remove it...I hear soltek comes off real easy with all the glue....200-300 bux is T*T...it's not the issue

errr I have decided against tinting my windows....because

a: I have 0 patients and will prob rip it off anyway

b: I'm not letting any bums work oon my s**t

I did find this place...but again I'm scared to let people do my s**t

      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!
