Isnt there a problem with tint bubbling up, because of the defroster??? I have seen it before on other car, thats why I have been hesitating on doing the back hatch....

 

they should do it in 25 minutes if they're doing THREE pieces...i got mine done in one peice there's no reason they couldnt have it just has to be shrunk.....i would have said dont do 5% if the sides wont have tint...i think it would look funny, but if you like the turn out thats cool...


side note: do most people have them tint over the dot matrix? where i went they said they could paint that black, cover it with tint (but it doesnt stick down everywhere), or start it after the dot matrix....i would have had them paint it until i realized they wanted $60 extra...so i said start at the dot matrix (that way maybe i could paint it)...but they tinted over it anyway ...and it doesnt look that good...what do you guys to with that??

btw: is that the way 2otl pipes look clean? i guess my 7 year old pipes are a little dirty

 

If you go through a quality shop they will use a good film such as 3M. Also you will receive a warranty with the work. Go ahead and get it done man, you should have nothing to worry about.

 

i had mine cove the dots and i dont remember any bubbles. looks fine and no one has ever pointed anything out.

 

But isnt it a limited warranty for the rear.. Like a year????

 

The really good shops around here give a 3 yr. all the way around. Might try calling around and seeing what's up with some of your local well known shops.

 

THX.....

 

mine is all bubbled up over the dot matrix, they said that would go away in 3-4 days, and it has diminished somewhat so far. If it turns out like crap, ill simply have to take it back and they'll fix it.

pic 2 is a good representation of what the 2otl pipes normally look like. Pic 3 is not because the pipes are over top of snow and reflecting the white, giving them a chrome appearance.

you can see the bubbling in the last one... its supposed to go away after 3-4 days, Ill see what happens.

 

mine still looks like the last pic after nearly two months...i may take it back...but it just doesnt stick to a bumpy surface like it would smooth glass.....


too bad you cant tint your side windows too

 

I'm going to get mine done on Saturday. Legal limit in ohio is 50%, but I wanted to go with 35 all around. I didn't want to push my luck. Any opinions on this set up? Anyone have pics of a red camaro with 35%?

BTW, nice clean looking ride Joelius

 

...thats not what i wanted to hear, but what are ya gonna do


I might do them eventually, maybe 45% or something, but that would make 3 illegal things on my car... windows, signals, and tailights.

thanks

 

r chill..just to warn you my friend got 35 sides and 50 is legal here...he got pulled over shortly after getting it done...the thing is 35 can look dark when the sun isnt on it...$80 ticket here for it but ill take my chances....

 

Thanks for the warning. I've heard a few people have had no problems with 30-35%, while a few others have gotten nailed with the fine. Luckily for me I guess, the few I've talked that got at ticket were out of state. It's just 50% just doesn't seem worth it. Guess I'm willing to take my chances too

 

Thats why I have been holding off getting mine done....
