Around here a LOT of people tint their cars. _As a result there are a LOT of tinters and most of them work full-time. There are -as a consequence- Lots of VERY experienced tinters...
And I am stunned by how good the guys who did mine were. -I recently took the trim off the back hatch (sportback) and saw how far behind the trim they went, and how neatly they did the job...
Also my right front window regulator was replaced under warranty, and I took a look at the "hidden" part of the tint job while the door was apart... -STUNNING.
They also did my open-skye glass. all 5 doors plus the roof for about $400, which is probably right in the £250 range, using the expensive ceramic stuff...
I could NEVER do the same level of work without 2 or 3 years experience, so I heartily recommend paying an experienced bloke who guarantees your satisfaction. -Bak windows are a b*tch to do, and nobody thinks a bubbly tint application looks any good!
