    sup guys..just wondering how many are up for window tinting..
    cause im a tinter myself..and for some odd reason it's very slow business recently?

    i mean cmon people..your car is basically naked without tint..

    but wat percent tint do you guys prefer? 05, 10, 20, 35?

    I prefer 20. How much would you say is a fair price to tint a Del Sol?

    I have tint on the back 3 windows of my hatch... What do you think the price would be for a place to take it off?

    well it actually all depends on the tint shops around you..my store charges a little less than other tint shops around us cause let me tell ya..there's a lot around us..a lot of competition..but i would charge 120 to 130 cause of the back window..should be a b(*&^ to do..x]

    hmm..no bubbling or anything? if it's perfectly fine than probably charge around 60..but again..it all depends on the tint shops.

    AND ALSO..another thing about tinting..is that the tinter makes the price..there's no SET price..so if they dont want to do your car either cause it's hard or they just dont want to do it for some reason..o_O they up the price..so careful guys..just a heads up..:)

    I was thinking about gettin mine, but then again I would rather have springs. It just seems like the last thing to do on my list, its not a real worry for me.

    I have my tinted and it's at 10% or so they say. I'd like to get 5%, but they'd have to take all my tint off. What you think that would run? I have a 97 Integra.

    hm and im guessing it's 2dr? but you do kno that once you take it off and retint it wont come out AS perfect cause they might miss the glue here and there..but i would charge 70 to 80 to remove and then 140 to retint..but once again..all depends on the tint shops around you..:googly:

    Yeah it's a 2 dr. You're saying it might not be as good the first time because of they might miss the glue?

    like the back window mainly..you cant use a razor blade on it so you have to put a black trash bag under it so it's covering whole back window then you bake it under the sun and then peel it off..it MIGHT come off clean..or there might be a lot of glue left over on the back window, and if there is glue they gotta use a scrub pad and watever solution they use to take it off..a lot of work..and they cant get all the little glue pieces that are left over..so yeah..x] and also depends wat tint shop you go to..heh

    A tint shop that I have taken my last few cars too uses a computerized method and a tint cutter. They enter the year make and model...the cutter pre-cuts the tint and they apply it to the car. The back window of course comes out in one solid piece. :computerrage:
