supreme_style21 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Kind of a branch off of the other tinting post... anyone used, heard anything about, the computer cut, pre formed/pre shrunk window tints? I've seen a few websites online selling them for a decent price.. the only thing is that their sites looked like they were created by a two yearold, so I kinda question the product. Just wondering if anyone has heard good/bad/anything about this method.. Quote
musthavemuzk Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 have heard nothing about it. they actually make it for the cutlass's? or just the more popular GP's? Monty Quote
supreme_style21 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Posted February 9, 2004 No they've got them for tons of models... 2 door, 4 door, rear windows... everything. I thought it sounded like a great item.. I HATE working all the bubbles and shit out of tint when I do it.. I still have yet to do a perfect rear window. This stuff would be a blessing. http://www.precuttint.com/ That is supposed to be pre-cut and pre-shrunk.. but the site looks like ass, so I wonder how good the product is. They don't have much in the line of sedans, but I always see auctions on ebay for them, that include the sedans. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 I bought some for my truck. I haven't tried installing it yet. Tint looks like hell to work with. I only paid $15+ship (probably grand total around $21) for mine off Ebay so if it doesn't work out, no huge deal. They claim it's Solargard metallized, so it should be quality stuff. I just don't know how good of a tinter I'll be. Looks like there's very little room for error when applying tint... and I always make mistakes, that's how I am! It's been too cold to work on it, but I'll give it a shot when it gets warmer. I somehow feel like I will be overwhelmed. Quote
PaPaPooh Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 you will have to still take bubbles out no matter whay you get i have heard of it but never used it it might be easier to get the bubbles out good luck Quote
Thabulldog Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Nothing for 2 door Luminas though. I wouldn't attempt to tint myself anyways, too much room for error. Quote
J Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 i'm sure its muchy easier taan working with a big piece of square tint. Just amke sure to wet it down really well with soapy water and do the same ot the window and start on a spot that is the hardest to get to then work your way out to the middle with the roller or bondo scraper (same but softer plastic) and you can have a decent tint job. thats one thing i leave to the pros tho, might as well pay someone $200 to do it right rather than ahve a shitty job.

Most of it is a breeze.. take your time and have patience.. The thing is, I don't have patience. I hate laying it all on there and trying to cut it all to fit.. then, because of the fact (most) windows have an ever-so-slight curve in them, it'll never seem to sit right.. I can do the side windows 'fairly' easily, but the rear window I won't attempt anymore. I tried in my Lumina and failed several times. Seeing as how this stuff is pre-shrunk, I figure it'll be a super easy application.. I know there will be some bubbles to work out, as there always will be, but I won't have to deal with the annoying curve of the windows, causing those long streaking bubbles to keep popping up. Quote
