Any tips on tinting front windows?

[AquinoSteven]

My privacy glass from the factory is already pushing legal limits here, and they love to use the tint laws for pulling people over. Thankfully they can't ticket me for OEM glass. My way is cheap....leave it alone. It's pretty dark as is.

My front windows didnt come tinted from the factory. I think you can order one with 20 all around. I just put 20 on my fronts for about $15 but theres a small gap on both windows. Im just gonna pull it off and try again.

Every place around here charges around $50 per window. Its nuts.

We can only tint fronts like 10% here, so there's really no point in doing it all. You're right, though...fronts aren't tinted. I should have mentioned that.

i could be wrong but 10% is dark?

Back to the op your friend spent 150 on just the front 2 windows? w0w i would have left it alone.

You can barely see in my truck during the day. Its really to dark but i like the privacy it gives.

Yeah, the prices here are retarded, and the thing is theres only a handfull of places in NJ that do it so really they can charge as much as they want. I just talked to my friend hows really good at putting tint on and hes gonna do mine if I detail his truck haha. Not bad.

I there a write up somewhere on how to pull the door panel off. I have a feeling that i would mess it up. haha

This is the best one I could find:

One word of advice is that there is no screw that I saw holding the switch panels in. Just disconnect the plugs.

hit up youtube there are plenty of quick how to videos on there. im still trying to master heat shrinking rear windows with a blow-torch! tint takes YEARS and many **** ups before you can call yourself a professional. ive been trying to tint since i was 16 and i started getting serious about it this past year. it is a great second source of income, the guys down nj are making a killing charging 150 for 2 windows! im about to move there.
