LOL!

Good luck.

back glass is a PITA to shrink. Matrix on top IIRC. Depending on how you do it, that stupid banana shaped spoiler/wing needs to be removed. Good luck getting it off too. You have to remove all the plastic on the inside, take off the motor for the wiper blade, then remove the wing.

Some people can do it with the wing in place.

Side windows need to be shrank....a LOT!

Door panels do come off pretty easy if it helps you. Otherwise, the doors are frameless and shouldn't need it (I do just so a finger doesn't pop up and bring in 13 years of dirt). There's just some screws here and there and such.

Quarter glass needs to be shrank!! I can't remember if it's the stealth or the 3000gt, but it's much easier to turn it sideways so the factory edges are front and back instead of top and bottom.

My new rule is no stealths/3000gts for anything less than DOUBLE what I charge for a 4 door car. Let the guy down the street deal with it.

Also prepare yourself for a VERY picky customer. They feel they have the coolest car in the world (especially the twin turbo ones) and even worse if it's just the base model because he was too poor to buy a fast one!

You're screwed.

what counts as curvy? older model Celica back glass? Ford Probes (owners also have a superiority complex, I've noticed). I did do a late 80's camaro. it turned out "okay." it was when I was learning. I wouldnt let it fly today, but for the $80 it cost the guy for the whole car, he got over it.

All I have to say is sheeeit. sounds like I should call him and see if he can get his car here any earlier. :DD

None of those cars compare to a stealth, and I agree with 1 piece, amatures :gasp:gasp

That car should take about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs just because of all the shrinking involved and the 14 years of dirt in it, but depending on your exp. it may take alot longer :lol6

If you've never done one, get it there early and TAKE YOUR TIME!! Severe BIOTCH of a car, somewhat like a new Bug. Sides are no easier than the back. DD is right, I charge AT LEAST double for them, cuz I can do 2 or 3 civics/jettas in the same time as it takes to do one of those. What really pisses you off is actually turning away a couple of easy cars because you're in the middle of one of them!!! :lol6:lol6:gasp:lol2

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
