Is it bad to get windows tinted in winter?

I want to tint the windows on my TSX, but its not supposed to be over 25 degrees in Chicago for a long time. Should I wait until it gets a little warmer out, or is 10-20 degrees okay?

I had the windows on my RL tinted on a very cold December day and had no problems. If you are taking it to a shop (I am assuming so), they'll do it inside anyway.

Also most places have atleast 1 year warranty, so incase any bubble show up when the weather warms up, they can get it out.

Doesnt matter what time of the year you take it in, but they'll tell you that winter takes longer for the glue to dry then summer. So if you wait 2 days in the summer, you'll wait almost a week before you roll your windows down just to be safe.

Go for it Nicky! look sexy in that thang! It should be easy to get a cheaper price during winter too, since demand would be lower. Take care bud!
