Any recommendations on window tinting shops? I have 0 tint as of right now and something needs to be done about it.

Sorry for the late response. Thank you. I'll have to check them out for pricing.

go to Vato Zone, buy your tint and get to work.

It has crossed my mind. I've never tinted a car before. How much of a pain is it? I'm sure lack of patience will not help. Maybe I'll try to do the hardest windows first then work toward the easiest.

don't even waste your time or money. Been there done that. The do it your self tint is crap in the first place and trust me, If u want it to turn out looking good and lasting take it somewhere with a warranty.

yep, I've been there and done that, too, and the tint I put on my Lib looked awesome after many years, unlike the stuff I'd paid someone to do. But then, I care more about my vehicles than someone else would...

It's a process, but it's nothing someone CAN'T do...

I put some on my Grand last weekend, a quick job, about an hour and a half for the 2 front windows...
