I'm interested in tinting my windows, but I've never done it myself. The place that tinted the windows on my Prelude did an amazing job and they would be my top choice if I was going to pay a place to do it, but I'm interested in saving the money and doing it myself. Suggestions?

lol thatz funny yea i agree if u do decide to do them yourself make sure you do plenty of research on tips and tricks so u dont regret doing it yourself. personally i went to mother's window tint expensive but top notch window tint. He he i ad a rough time conning the guys to give me an illegal 5 percent on my doors.

I thought about doin the sides myself and having the back done prof. but what about the rear defroster, like if they did a bad job and they had to redo it? wouldnt it rip off the defroster tape? -john


if they do a bad job make sure you have them take it off. If they know what they are doing you shouldnt have a problem with the defroster tape commin off at all.

I gotz 2 things my celi and a dream, the prob is commin up with the thrid one...
