79211, Tintkits.com Anyone Ever Try Their Kit?
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Dec-03-04 01:46 PM
I am thinking about maybe purchasing their front window kit to do my windows in May when my car is inspected. The kit is $10 for the front which I figure is a really great deal for tint that is precut to fit my window perfectly. So my question is anyone ever deal with them and know if the fitment is good?

I read somewhere that if you take amonia and wipe it on your windows then cover it with a trashbag that it takes off the tints very easily.
Also invest in razor blades.

Where did you see $10? Its $30, you save $10.

To remove it, I used a razor blade and acetone, worked great.

I heard the same thing about the trash bag and amonia idea. You cover both sides of the window with amonia then you take a trash bag and tape it to outside of the window. Keep it in direct sunlight and heat builds up in between the window and the bag. Eventually the tint just peels off in one huge sheet.

P.S sorry I was reading the wrong price.. But still an awesome deal

HOly shit. it's easy to remove tint imo.

none of that amonia shit.

Just get a new flat razor blade and lift the edge of the tint......AND PULL LIKE A MOFO. Ity should come off in one swipe, THEN, use goo gone and the razor blade to scrape any existing glue off the window.

By pulling HARD, you should take most of the glue with you.

I've only done this like 325 times before. so.....

yes some do come off easy, but I had some tough tints in the past. The tints would just peel off in small peices and ripp. So the amonia(windex or any other item with amonia) on a HOT day with a razor is all you need. The trash bag works really well IF the weather is warm. The weather is considered warm when you touch the outside of the glass.

actually you spray the inside where the tint is with amonia and then stick the trash bag to it. that way when you pull the trash bag off it takes the tint with it so you dont ruin your rear defogger lines. everything is done on the inside not on the outside.

I ordered a kit from them. It came fast, but the USPS damaged it during shipping. The guys at tintkits were very nice and sent me out a new kit; and they said they would include some extra window cleaner for the incovience. I am waiting for the package to come right now. And i'll let you guys know how it works.

I thought I remembered a thread where somebody bought them, but I don't feel like searching.

I just want to know if they cover the entire window or if it stops before the top of the window.
