Window Tint Questions

[staticpike]

I was talking to a one of the Window Tinting Guys around Town and he tells me that they don't make a sheet of tint large enough for the rear hatchback of the F-Body. He also said that he could do it with 2 pieces, but it would look like crap before long (I do not have the rear window defroster).

Could anyone shed some light on this for me? Is he telling the truth or does he not know what he is doing (he has a good reputation for doing quality work from others in the area). Does anyone know where I can purchase a sheet large enough to cover the rear and then have him do it?

Any clarification is appreciated! This is my first time getting windows tinted...

mine is tinted, i bought it used but I'm fairly certain it was done at the dealer. at any rate, its 2 years old and has a defroster and still looks mint.

I have had the same problem I have a 94 and the guy said that 94 are impossible to tint in one piece because of the curve at the bottom of the back glass he also told me I should break out my back window and have the insurance company put a new one in with defrosters

well i dont know what that guy is telling you but around here they put a full one piece of tint on the back of the glass and i have the rear defogger...i have had my windows done for about a year and it still looks excellent

That guy is full of BS! No difference in 94 glass...

I've had mine tinted for 4 years, 1 piece... still looks great! (w/ defogger).

If you go to a shop and they say they can't do a 1 pc back, turn around and walk out.

:cool:

Anyone know of an online vendor that I can get a large enough tinting sheet from?

mine is one piece. no problems. also has a life time warranty for defective tint & labor....so if it fades, or comes off, they'll replace @ no cost to me.

that guy is full of sh!t....go elsewhere.

I got my rear window tinted and its in one piece, the guys that told you it had to be done in two piece is full of ****.

If you look around you might be able to find a place with sheets big enough to do the entire window. dont get a 2 piece job.

call around,

if they can't do it, they don't need your business.

I have had mine done, as well as every member of the car club i belong to all has 1 piece on the back of their 4th gen

Not a problem, I'll just shop around some more. Guess this guy doesn't have the same suppliers as everyone else...

Thanks!

i just got mine tinted my rear is one piece with seams (seams are where they cut out littel slits because they cant swrink it to fit the curves)

[awesomeame]

i don't have any seams & it's one piece...

seams? 2 peices? dude all those places that says they cant do it or there will be "seams" or they will 2 piece it are not professionals. you must be going to stereo shops or podunk tinting places where some punk kid thinks he can slap a sheet of tint on any window. i went with a place called SunTec, dont know if they are corporate but they did a fantastic job. no "seams" or 2 pieces. looks perfect.
