I guess it goes back to Strauss. No point in wasting 5 bucks, plus the installation spray solution and squeegee

I've emailed the seller and waiting to hear back.


Before I bought my HHR, I had a Toyota truck that I purchased precut window tint from TintKits.com and they sell SolarGard. I think that's good? Only thing is, they don't currently offer kits for the HHR or I would just buy from there again.

They start the bid at 88cents and the shipping is almost $17.00 "WTF". Go to a regulare window tint shop and get the right product and get the job done correctly.

Here's what one of the Ebay sellers replied with...

Our films are provided to us under private label agreements with ISO registered manufacturers. Because their film are also sold under their flagship brands, they prohibit us from disclosing their trade names.
Thanks.


Sounds like crap to me. I won't be buying from them that's for sure. Guess I'll try locally.

I had mine done professionally, 80 bucks. i watched the guy do it, its pretty involved when done right. The pros know the tricks and pitfalls, IMHO the money was well spent. also the cheap **** will usually bubble and turn purple.

What percent tint should we use on the front windows to match the rear?

I used 20% and it was a near perfect match, just very slightly darker. You wouldn't notice unless you were trying.
