    Midtown Houston got a reaction from Naples Tint Company in 2017 Mercedes GT AMG   
    The panel just pop off so you can remove the 3rd brake light.  It is remove the same way a BMW 3rd brake light.  Pulled the tab out on each side with a small hook tool.  Every windows on this vehicle will have to be shrink......Good luck on shrinking the front 2 windows. I did this vehicle with 3M Crystalline and it was time consuming.

    How many oz you recommend in Houston humid hot weather....I like a lot of slip because we remove sweep or door panel for most of our install.... Also....we are pulling in vehicle into our tint bay that been sitting in the sun. I will be coming by Monday to get a gallon to try out.  I still have a gallon of the green slim that been sitting since last year.

    Midtown Houston got a reaction from E_Loc in 2016 Ford Focus and RS model   
    This is the 2nd RS model we did with 3M Crystalline.  Crystalline 40 on side and back glass and Crystalline 70 on windshield.  Rear top spoiler must be remove for shrinking the back glass for a easy install. Front windshield on this vehicle is big for such a small car.....Not a easy windshield to heat shrink in Crystalline.
     
    There are 7 screw to unscrew to remove rear top spoiler.  The plastic cover will pop off to reveal the 7 screws.  All the blue tape mark all the screw that need to be remove.  The spoiler will pop off with a little muscle on each end.  
     
    The front door sweep is super easy to remove.  Remove the door speaker by just popping it off.  Remove cover be hide door handle to reveal screw and unscrew. Get a hook tool and hook out sweep.  Sweep or door panel have to be remove on this vehicle to do a clean install.....TRUST ME!!! 
     
    The Back door sweep is the same....

    Film and Vinyl Design hand down....Best customer service ever...They will fix your problem right then and there if you ever have a problem. Brett and his team will install the software on your pc or laptop without you doing nothing.

    Midtown Houston got a reaction from alexg in Yelp reviewer meets business owner.   
    We believe in Yelp......Alot of our business come from them. We even advertise with them and spend $500/ month.  But yes...there are those that abuse it.  We just learn how to handle yelp reviewer. We bring in an extra 10k in gross income from Yelp and we keep track of it from Grasshopper and referral input.

    Midtown Houston got a reaction from TintDude in 2016 BMW 750Li   
    oh man....why did BMW did this...."They hate us tinter" .... I am uploading some picture of what to remove on this model.  Even though you remove it, good luck on doing a very clean install.  It is not a easy clean drop if the car is not prep right. We charge an additional $50 for this model. We explain to the customer our procedure on installation and why we charge the additional $$$$......and guess what ?????what....they all leave it with us!!!! This model is not hard just so time consuming to do a clean install.....Them $99 tint shop are not doing this...Not a profitable model for them to make money.  
     
    The back door is easy to take out the sweep. Just pull on the cover and hook out the sweep.  The front door.....pop out the cover behide the door handle and remove the screw. Then....pop out the long light trim and remove only 1 screw...after you pop it out, pulled it toward the back of the door to remove it.  There are 3-4 little clip as everyone mention but if you do it slow....You are ok.  Also....put more J&J or what every you use in your bottle...you will need room and time to wiggle on a hot day. THAT ALL FOLK......
