    Your thoughts?


    I want my front windows to match my rear. Can I get away with just tinting the front windows to match the rear.


    Im just exploring my options and came across this on ebay.

    Man I can honestly tell you that you will not be happy with the outcome. I bought some precut tint from snaptint (about $100) and with the curve of the front windows you have to have a heat gun to get it right. I ended up getting pissed and tore it all off and paid to have it done the right way.

    The key in tinting is the installation. Even a lot of tinters don't use top shelf stuff b/c they will just re do the install if it ever fades. Anymore the fading isn't as much of an issue... at least for the length of time most of us will own our trucks...

    If the quality is what they say it is, they have decent customer service for shipping and possible returns, and you're an experienced tinter, you're getting a steal (I'm sure they're still making good $ off the deal). Otherwise, might consider having it done professionally.

    I wouldn't say too easy... anybody remember my "UGH" Post? I am still in the hunt for a shop in SoCal that can match my windows. As of right now my credit card company is working on a chargeback from the POS Shop that did my windows horribly!

    There is a shop in Long Beach, corner of Cherry Ave and PCH. You might want to give them a try. I have no firsthand experience but I talked to a guy who got his car tinted over there. Page me if you interested.
