That's sad. The only differance between precut and a roll is, well, it's precut.....

I would do a little homework before purchasing any tint flims..

Some are cheap & quickly turn like purple from fading..Price may be low, but so may be the quality..

Then you can get Hi-quality that carries a lifetime warranty..

That's cool. I'm not unhappy as the guy that did mine has been tinting windows for decades, and has a top notch reputation.

Well, lot of windows in the wagons.. Also is this a 'Lifetime Guarantee" on install & the tint itself ??

Should be for that price imo. If not, I would look for a place that guarantees their work & Tint quality (in writing) for lifetime.. Then at least if you keep the paperwork & later sell the vehicle, that is a plus for selling ..

Most of the shops around here use the 3m, and stand behind work and quality of product. What they will not do is remove tint for free if you go to dark and get a ticket....which I expected. I think I'm only going to match the fronts at 20%, and have the rear done to 5%, for 120. I'll start there and if I need to go darker in the back I can do it later. Kind of like making 2 easy payments...lol

ive always told the dealer to tint the windows after the deal was agreed as a final "do this & I'll buy it". always works. Just had them do the windows on my wife's Traverse & my HHR. They also painted my grill black to match the body color. all agreed to after the final deal was agreed
