anybody ever do their own window tint? I just did some on my truck and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I got some of the best stuff walmart had. yeah yeah Im not so sure that I got the best stuff. Somehow I've got a gouge in it Im not thinking its very strong stuff.

So im wondering what other stuff is out there and how hard a newer z28 rear window is to tint?

I am not sure if the Wal-Mart stuff is as good as the tint the shops use. I know when they get the multi-directional bends in the windows they usually have to use a heat gun to lay the tint down properly. I will do cars and trucks with straight windows myself. But the back window on my Z, I paid to have done in one piece. Looks great and worth it IMO.

just pay the 80 bucks get the lifetime warrenty and save your trouble and time, also get a nicely done vinyl strip over the back windo bumps

My friend does professional window tinting. It's much more difficult than it looks, and forget about the back window. There is a trick to the back window of the F-Body that generally only the pros know. For $150 and a lifetime warranty? Leave it to the pros.

Sounds like a secret society or something. The trick is just on how you shrink the corners down so it fits rounded with a single large piece of tint.

Make sure you pay someone to do the back window! I learned the hard way.

YEAH it is hard for your first time is what im saying, so what he did some flat windows thats not a problem, these cars have a number of different cuts and curves, and especially the rear window...no.... its hard for first time, i have no problem now after doing 9-10 cars

It totally depends where you live. If you live in an area that is sunny a lot like florida tinting is much cheaper! I live in illinois and not many people get tinting done so it is much more expensive! I personally taught myself how to do tinting but that was after many vehicles and rolls of tint! I took my first trans am to florida on a vacation and while i was there i got all my windows tinted for only $125.00 (except the windshield of course) but here in illinois they wanted $300.00 to do the back window alone! Basically check with your local tint shop on price, and if youve never done it before and you want a nice job the first time take it to a shop. You should at least have the back window done by a shop its incredibly hard to do properly!

my Z had the back window done already at 35%(illegal in MN) but since i've NEVER been bugged about 35% i'm gonna hit the door glass soon with 35% it's not that hard to do, just be patient and get ALL the bubbles out. I've done a few cars and only messed up on my GTP when i had it. The Camaro's door glass looks easy so i'm not worried. The back window needs to be done by the pro's as that is a bitch

SLVR_99-Z ~~~ i got mine done in St. Cloud. At a truck accessories store. They actually have a guy come in and do it. For a coupe he charges like 175-200 and for a sedan about 250-300. Does nice work though. Can't remember the number to the place though
