^^ if your gonna do it spray the windows with baby oil until tint in positioned. lay tint on outside of window 1st to cut the shape of glass. just be careful and use your head. some people have a skill for tinting and some should just pay..

Where are you in 626?

I have a pretty good tinter that's also inexpensive in Rowland Heights. It's called Tint Zone (http://tintzone.net/). Call him to get a quote and set an appointment. Talk to David and tell him Leo sent you, you could get a discount.

How about Llumar tint?
Btw in 626 area, I know there is California Tint on Rosmead, off the top of my head.

Sorry for thread jack, but I'm looking for a clear tint... can anyone point me in the right direction?

^^ Glad I could help.

onebadna1nsx, call Tint Zone. They tinted my friend's car with the lightest film. The car looks like it has no tint on but it still feels cooler after parking under the sun.

Same deal, tell David that Leo sent you. And no, I have no business interest of any kind with him.

He carries Solargard and Madico I think. I've been using Solargard HP Charcoal for all my cars, from Accord and TL to all my BMWs and I have absolutely zero problem. I can't even detect any difference in Nav and AM/FM performance.
