Rear Window Tint

what place? autoimage on chambers bridge did mine. the only place there is a problem is on the dot matrix at the top of the glass. you can sand that down first or paint it before they tint it.

I took it back 1 month later and they gave me the line "that's the way they come out". Refused to redo it. Not to happy.

Depending on what type of film is used you can pay anywhere between $150 to $210.

and depending on what you want done..if you want more tinted the cost is going to be more.

dude if i were you id speak to a manager there about it, there is no reason for the tint to be bubbling a month after an installation unless it was put on incorrectly

I've decided not to have it fixed. They will remove it and I will get a refund. I need to keep it until I find the shop that can do it right. My stereo components will be in plain sight if I remove it now. You know, when i went back the mgr. told me "they all do this". He knew about it before I had it done but didn't tell me. ASS
