    Here's a beginner way to drop film. You'll eventually learn to do it without the dowel.

    Prelude looks clean. Should be able to find a reputable tint shop that will get you dialed in with a good dyed film for $180 give or take.

    Toyota day for me. 1985 Toyota pickup, actually kind of cool - 92k miles, interior was cherry. Came out pretty good. (if you stand 10ft away [emoji23])





    Also did a ‘12 ish Tacoma. Double whammy on this one... Shell and and vent visors!

    Awesome work!  I'm scared to ask how much that would cost me.

    Apex Tint got a reaction from LM89 in Visor strip cutting   
    I agree, a 10” roll makes life easy. When I reorder 5% I order the 30” roll and have them cut it 20/10 so I have a roll for side windows and a roll for visors. One edge will be better than the other so just check before laying out your film on the WS and put the cleaner edge on the bottom.

    I usually just grab a tape measure and pull measurements from the top molding to the bottom of the visor and make sure it’s the same on both sides.

    Just did a front match on my 2019 Tundra with Global QDPC 18%. Not a perfect match, but Toyotas never are.

    Planning to do the shield in 70% QDPC, and I’ll probably wrap the rest of the truck in the 18% over the factory privacy glass. Just too busy tinting other people’s stuff! Also not looking forward to that back window lol.

    Apex Tint got a reaction from pbalentine in New windshield, time for tint. 50% vs 70%   
    I do all my shields in Global QDPC 70% - have this on my personal vehicles as well and I love it.  Most of the time when I measure VLT after install it comes in around 61%.  
     
    Lots of people think 70% is too light, but if you compare side by side the 70% does add a pretty good shade to the windshield.
