Look up a Formula One franchise. Used one here in Raleigh, NC, on son's 99 Honda, very nice.

I've not decided about it on my 2k2 SE. The Max is in Glacial Pearl, and I'm not sure how the tint would look.

Also, in low angle light (early morning, late afternoon) the tint looks a little hazy. It's too much of a PITA to have it checked out, but I will one of these days.

Check F1 out at:

i didnt pay that much at all but i also used to do sterio installs for them i paid $100 for all windows Scotts norm price on cool chrome tint is 175 i think still not a bad price for metalized tint plus hes a perfectionist if he notices the sligest bubble in the window he will redo it.

dood your car looks familure have you ever been up on the northshore in it...

any way i perfer the metalized tint ie... coolchrome, platinum and others because they all have a lifetime gaurantee and wont wade too the oogly purple color when you clean them with windex(the one with amonia)... but its all preference, like me i like mirror tint on white cars and metalized on darker color cars...

it depends on the tint shop some charge $10 some charge alot more because tint is a b!itch to take off especially if its been on a while.... but while i worked for scott @ mirror image i learned a lil secret go to the store buy a bottle of amonia put a bottle cap full in a spray bottle of watter spray it on let it stay on there for a while take a razor blade and start scraping, start in a corner of the window lift up the edge of the tint a start pulling slowly and spray it every now and then... the hard part realy is getting the glue off the window.... take the same bottle of watter and amonia but a coulpe drops of dawn in it give it a couple shakes, spray and scrape....

good luck with your desision on the tint
