    Where do yo live bro??


    A good tint shouldn't cost much more than $200... Just ask if it's got a warranty, most these days have a life time warranty. My cousin's been doin it for years at Complete Windscreens and they are the cheapest and there tint has a lifetime warranty.

    It'll cost you a bit cos it takes time...

    Do it yourself before you go, it's easy as takin a piss

    Just get a blade and lift a corner of the old stuff and pull slowly, should come off

    Then get some soapy water and spray the window and use the blade to scrape off the old glue (if the glue doesnt come off clean with the tint, some do this and are very nice to work with )

    On the rear window with the demisters use the soapy water again but cos of the demisters you have to get some fine steel wool and scrub away!! Takes a while...

    But will save you some cash

    Thats what the guys at the tint shop will do

    Good luck

    I got 35% tint done at tint-a-car, you get lifetime warranty Australia wide.

    if i remember correctly to take my old tint off and put new tint on was $280...
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.
