How long does tint take to install? I want to get it for my wife's car. Do they only need the car for a couple hours?

I have had 3 or 4 vehicles all done at tint master on 17th ave SE. Its quite a hike from where I live but the pricing can't be beat and I have never had an issue with quality.
I paid under $300 for 7 windows a couple months back!

You can do it yourself with a razor blade, cleaning agent and a couple of hours. There are lots of guides on the internet.

If you plan on putting tint back on ever, I would have to done professionally because you will probably have some glue residue left over, and it will not affix properly. They will have to clean the window and then install the tint.

You can call and ask, but I don't think it would be very expensive to have it removed. Less than $100 I would think.

I think I'm going to go with Shadow. I sent them a request for a quote last night, and they got back to me earlier today in the afternoon. I spoke with a rep from there, so I'm going to head down there next week and take a look.

I'll be sure to post before and after pics.

Shadow Tinting is an excellent choice. I think they give you a life time warranty.

I have my appointment set for this Friday. Going with the supreme film (lifetime guarantee).

I'll be getting 28% on the back and back sides, and 40% on the driver and passenger sides (front). Should look quite nice. I'll be sure to post before and after pics.

Getting it all done for $400 (rounded).

Here is a Chevy Cobalt with 28% in the back, and 40% in the front (same as what I'm getting). I like how it blends.

Got my Yaris done at Tintmaster last year, and it's held up nicely so far. Instead of percentages, you get a choice of gradients from light to dark. Lifetime warranty too.

Ok, got the picture embeded finally. I'll post an after-pic once I pick it up.

They're also removing the "dealer-tag" for free. I was nervous about doing it myself, but it's nice that they'll do it. Leave it to the professionals!

Rear windows are 28%, and the front are 40%. They even removed the dealer sticker/label for free.

BIG thumbs up to SHADOW TINTING!
