Installer told me the little bubbles (white color) are normal and it may take a few weeks to go away. Is this true? If not I want to drive right back there and bitch before they "forget about me".

o/t is there a "donate" option on this site, i've gotten a lot of pre/post purchase help here.. even though I just registered.

Thanks guys!

Matt

 

yes. true.

tinters use a water solution to adhere the tint to the window.
it can take up a few weeks to "cure" or dry
even longer if you opted for a thicker tint material.

 

Okay, thanks man! I was getting concerned since its not always easy to trust the guy wanting your money, no matter the line of work.

^did the tinter explain about moleskin?

 

No, he didn't.. but I just learned about it after reading a few threads here. Problem is i'm not sure if its a "good idea" or actually a must-have.

It depends on the tint you chose. Some tints won't get scratched even if you have a lot of dust rubbing on it. For the most part, though, the TSX is known to need it. I think people who don't get it are the minority here (some people eventually get it after having their tint scratched and replaced).

Bubbles are normal and are just trapped water solution that didn't escape. It'll take a while before they disappear. I haven't seen bubbles on any of my cars that were tinted though, but I guess it depends on the installer's methods. It's kind of like when you install a screen protector on a pda or phone...you have to work out all of the bubbles as you apply the protector or else the bubbles get trapped there.

 

i m not sure if the 2nd gen is "known to need it" cuz i researched this a while back before i got my tint, and many members on here didnt experience any scratches. i too, did not experience any

 

I just got my tint done today..there are bubbles and splotches as the tinter explained..."Just park it in the sun and you should be good in a couple days" haha...I believe I got moleskin when they removed the door panels to but I'm not sure. I got 45% which is considered very light but since my interior is black..it looks waaaaaaay darker

 

^ pic or it didnt happen, bro.

 

Ed eat yo heart out! LOL
Bad angle but all I have atm...pretty light during the day but darker during dusk/night
BB pics only til proper photoshoot goes down, camera quality so lames that the stock 4300k look normal and my 3000k fogs look yellower than they are

 

^ nice wheels. are they works?

 

Hint of sarcasm?

LOOOOOOOOOOL Winter Steelies bro

 

Ed is a veteran in the fashion scene .He keeps on talking about black Steel rims is a new Black

 

nice

 

i konw

 

Tint is looking good, once it stops snowing (where the hell is Spring) i'll shoot some photos. I can also see the need for that interior LED mod, the yellow tint makes it look so Honda Civic.

 

i got my tint done in winter ... it literally took almost 3 weeks for all the bubbles to disappear juss fyi

 

^ Maybe it was cold still? I'll assume it helps if its hot outside
