  • Tinting my back window

    I kind of want tinted windows, but not enoughf to spend more than the price of pre cut tint (ebay 20 bucks) I think I can do it with out too many bubbels, on the side windows. The back window is what I'm afraid of. Has anyone done it? Is there a guide someware? I feel like it would be eazer to take the whole back hatch off and tint it off of the car. Any thoughts?

    I may be wrong, never really paid attention to mine, but I think the back window has to be done in 2 pieces. Correct me if I'm wrong.

            If you absolutely insist on doing it yourself, it will definitely be easier to do with the hatch off. What the pros do is they lay the tint out on the outside of the back window and get most of the bubbles out, then use a heat source (hairdryer or heatgun works) to shrink for the curves of the window. I've done some myself, and it's by no means easy. I would recommend you to have it done, but you can give it a try if you want.

              Yeah 200 bucks for all 3 windows and the guy did an excellent job. I say it was money well spent to prevent bubbles that I absolutely hate seeing on those do it yourselfers cars. My gf said she would kill me if I did it myself too. You won't regret it man. Pay the money.

                        I could do film on the sides and spray on the back, the spray looks good on my tail lights (night shades) I'm not shure why the people on google hate it. Anyone use it?

                              I got my rear hatch at a 30% tint for $65. Go with a guy who hasn't been in the area for a while and who needs to build up his list of clients, you'll get a good deal and he'll probably do a good job because the last thing he needs for his new business is to get a bad rep.
