first cut film. whats the story?

jackier · January 9, 2017

hi guys,

layman here needing yall expertise. my Honda dealership in katy texas. automatically tints there cars when hit the lot with first cut tint.

I looked on google and nothing really pops up. I never heard of them. I read some said connected to madico. I contacted madico and they said they dont construct the film to contact first cut. anybody know where they place uv absorbers and how they construct the film, if it is quality or not?

thank you

First Cut is the software for cutting patterns. Maybe someone can chime in on the specific film being used by First Cut. Only thing I can add is that 99% of the time dealerships use cheaper films and usually charge premium. You are usually better off choosing no tint with them and going to a reputable shop. There are obviously some exceptions to this though.

When you buy an add-on from the dealership it is usually a 200% mark-up. No matter what it is. 200% mark up is also a hook up.

Majority of this industry is reboxed film, so I doubt it is their film...just reboxed from another manufacturer. Basically you will not know it is good or bad until it starts to fail. I would ask them to remove the film and have it tinted somewhere else personally.
