IWFA

Personally, I get more benefit from Tintdude.com than I think I'll ever get from IWFA, but who here are members, and why?

[TintWizard]

I'm not knocking them because I 've never directly seen influences that I know of that have affected me.

I've gotten along fine in this biz without them

The IWFA is nothing but a puppet organization of the manufactures to make sure they can continue to sell film. THAT is the ONLY reason they are around. Don't be fooled into thinking they want to help you. look at their budget where the money comes from.

harsh words? or the truth? it's up to you.

I was a member for many years, but when it came time to renew last time, I passed on it

I was as a Solar Gard dealer in Russia. Stopped it with dealership

What do we have? 2 free drinks at SEMA and free WINDOW FILM magazine. No caps, no T-Shirts

I have a question:

WHY WE STILL HAVE SUCH TINT LAWS? IWFA got money to make them normal.

[TINTZEUS]

If I had my own shop,"storefront" and or did alot of flatglass I would be a member...

I would also join the BBB.

I like the IWFA, I think its better to have em around, than not.

[LEO'n'DARTZ]

I haven't them near. And I still good....

The IWFA used to be focused on the installers, that is why they started in the first place. The manufactures do not concider this an organization for them, they are all active members in AMCAL. The IWFA does not rely on manufactures for thier buget moneys as in years past. The main supporters are the film distributors along with about 500 +/- dealers. The main reason that any dealer should be a member is the legal issues. Now, if the states decide to outlaw window film, the IWFA steps in with thier lobbiest and in most cases a sedellment is found. This keeps all of us in business and gives each of us some hope for a future. Look at what is happening in NY state, not to mention the new legal win in the state of GA.

If I am not wrong manufacturers pay around $ K100 per year..May be I am wrong...

Focused on installers?
