Hey troops, as title suggests, just got back from gettin the windows done on the old girl.

makes such a difference in my opinion, the rears are done in a tint called midnight and the fronts are light smoke, hopefully light enough that 5-0 dont huckle me for them.

got them done for 190 which I though was reasonable, as I got my ST done a cpl years back and it was 180 and it was a 3dr.

Couple companys, i got quotes from where outrageous, as they said they had to take the door skins off etc. Guy that done mine, says if their having to take ur door skinds off, then their not good enough at their job.




comments are more than welcome good or bad   :P

Saint Steve:
Do you have a white ring around the outside edge of the rear screen??

or have your fitters managed to cover it?

Had tints done before but that was my only gripe.

Good price  :happy2:

have got white marks where the transparent bit of the glass meets the black bit, if that makes any sense, lol. but the guys says they will virtually be gone in a cpl days and if not to take it back to him, saying that only been done about 6hours, and have started to disappear, so pretty sure all the while bit will be gone in no time.

Oli:
Improves the looks no end in my view.

However your car is now illegal, due to the tint on the front window.  And it does make me laugh, when the sales guy says that people who remove the door cards, etc to tint the windows are not good enough at their job????  er DOH, thats how the professionals do it - try telling that to Pentagon!!!

Saint Steve:
It will get slightly less , but you wont be able to shift it. Reason is the black dotted section around the screen, when you apply the tint, air gets trapped in the dots and gives you the white rim edge, because the tint isnt sat on the glass directly.

From your 1st photo, it doesnt look too bad. Mine was appauling even after a 2nd attempt to put it right.

If that is a tint on your front glass , remove it as oli says. They do however a Carbon UV light tint. Which doesnt tint the glass, but helps stop UV light getting in, gives the glass an ever so slight mirror reflection on the outside, and helps keeping the car cooler inside ,especially if you have full leather.

taken 30 mins after it was done...
