Anyone do their own tint?

[MFury]

95 would be a great deal! I can only see a friend doing for around that price since it costs money for the labor, materials and shop space.

so the shop fell through on the quote and re quoted at 120, but got into contact with another tinter who deals with a specific kia dealership and hes going to make a house call for 100... ill let you know how it looks and what not... and if you guys wanna check out how its gunna look, im gunna inlist on the april car of the month thread in the next week or so, so you guys could check out the job then.

How long does it take to have your windows tinted? did you have to give up your car for a full day?

[Matemorh]

500$ tx in for all windows and roof wrap!
Windows alone was 250$
A bit expensive but no one could do my wrap and don't want to take 2 days off for that!!!
I shop around and the cheapest was 168$ + tx

I thought about tinting it myself but decided I would save myself the long process and work. Payed $180 for 15% on all 5 windows with a lifetime warranty. So if I ever have a problem with them they'll do the work and I don't have to worry about it.

I would save a little bit of cash and save yourself the trouble.

Do it yourself, its easy, cheap and you can make sure its down right. supplies needed: tint, soapy water in a spray bottle, and some type of plastic piece to smooth it out. If you need help send me a message.

^that. Been tinting for awhile.

The standard over here is $110. I couldn't see anyone paying more than that.
I got mine done for $95. All windows, 25% and lifetime warranty. He didn't cut around the brake light. It all looks impecable.

I tried doing mine and got fed up and took it to get professionally done. If you want to try it yourself I'd suggest getting the cheap crappy tint at advance auto, buy a cheap window from a junk yard and practice tinting on that till you think you have the hang of it. Then buy a precut kit off of E-bay (make sure you get a good brand... bad tint will turn purple after a couple years) and try tinting yourself. Honestly for me the hassle wasn't worth it. I got mine professionally done for $175 with Johnson window film and a lifetime warranty
