LOL I try not to be, even though this whole post is super sissy nanny la-la sounding on my part. Example, my later model car needed some repair work when someone clipped my car in the parking spot at the store, and I told the shop "do your thing" because any new cars in my opinion are plastic disposeable appliances and if it wasn't perfect then who cares. I'm not that picky on all fronts. Now with the 500E, it's my baby, so when I re-painted it, I was like "what do you mean $20K quote on paint if I sand it and have the everything stripped (entire interior, seats, door panels, bumpers, door handles, windows, etc etc)? I don't need Barrett Jackson, but I don't need Maaco either. So I have to babysit all these places to basically say "I know you have no money in custom jobs, and you try to turn and burn with "collison" only, but this thing is all ready for you to shoot, just shoot it and don't rip me off". I think they throw an outrageous price out there to get rid of me instead of just saying "we're not interested". Hence my being a bossy cow about this. It's like literally the 37th thing in a row on a couple of cars I've had to deal with. Not paranoid, just seasoned and documented string of labor in America not being thorough and hurried in the last decade it seems. I can just hear "if you can afford a Mercedes you can afford to not be a picky ass with a window tint price". Shuttup. It's 35 years old which is older than me and I don't want a car payment because I don't make a lot of money. Hence me working on most of it myself except for these types of things. Now I have "Rust in Peace" in my head, jammin' out. heh

Close, Close, 1993 Mercedes Benz 500E. Pretty much every window is square and mostly flat. Windows came out without scratching tint, and with my channels, will go back in without scratching tint as I have personally taken the entire interior down to a shell for various projects at one point or another. BTW Tint dude, like the avatar, Vic Rattlehead rules. I guess Megadeth does too.

Okay, so if you had 1988 Mustang glass out of the vehicle and 1988 Porsche 944 glass out of the vehicle, what makes the Porsche take twice as long besides more film? Just trying to follow the logic.

Hi there guys, first post here. And I don't wanna come across as a Karen but well......... lol I have a car from the 1980's and have the glass out of the car. I have called some tint shops and they are insistent on knowing what type of vehicle it is. I just say "well I'm just bringing the glass separately so make doesn't apply". The reason I try to dodge around it is past experience with dishonest businesses. Kind of 2023 people in general, sadly. Anyways, what I'm getting at is I am trying to see who's going to just dig and dig for that information. I just can't help think that they're trying to price it based on what type of car I have. If I say I have a Bentley versus an 80's Civic, I can see them thinking $$$$ on one car and $ on the other, if you know what I mean. And no it's not a Bentley or a Civic, heh. So for the 'honest' pros out there, what is the importance of knowing my vehicle so badly? Keeping it from them I sound like a weirdo because well most people would just ramble their make/model off, and what I am doing is well, weird but I'm tired of getting ripped off. Any inputs? Much appreciated. Also, is ceramic that much better if I'm keeping the car long term? Dave
