    Getting Car Tinted Tomorrow... Question (Pics Are Now Up)

    Tomorrow I am getting my car tinted with Huper Optik Ceramic 40 (42%) tint.
    I have one question though - can you still have decals with tint? Do you just stick them over the film?
    Anyway, I guess I'm going to have to take off my CCA sticker today.

    Pics tomorrow after the tinting is done.

    The film is applied to the inside of the windows...you shouldn't have to take off stickers on the outside.

      No the sticker is on the inside, I didn't even know you could put stickers on the outside.

          Nope. But then again, I don't have lots of stickers. The CCA one goes on the inside, though.

            Don't have decals covered with the tint, lol

            My decals are on the outside of the window...

                    How do the rear side windows come out? Did they remove the latches and slide the tint thru the hole or just lay the tint around the window mount.

                      I dont beleive he has the popout rear glass. I beleive he has the fixed glass.

                        The small side rear windows on a coupe. They pop out about an inch with the lever.

                              Wow, I didnt know that all e30s didnt have pop out windows. I just assumed they did. Thats kewl though. Anyway my tint looks like ass. Looks like Im going to have to take dude to court. Went by another shop and they quoted 450. To remove idiots tint and re tint the car. Oh well.

                              20% looks pretty good though. Maybe even a tad to dark.
