  • Computer cut window tint

    Car should hopefully be here within the next couple of weeks. There's a local guy that will do a Llumar film for $189, and he hand cuts it. A couple of co-workers had several cars done and it looks fine. Any advantage of going to a place that does it where a computer does the cutting?

    No advantage. Disadvantage is that it may not fit as well as hand cut.

          I don't buy cars from dealerships without making them throw tint in with the deal.

            Your $100 tint must be awesome.
            GE, don't go through the dealer. There are some high end films that are $450 but you should be able to get a high quality film for $250 or less.

                Any recommendations for the Seagoville/Mesquite/Forney/Terrel/Kaufman area anyone? I need to get the new beater tinted as well.

                  Nothing like having to put on sunscreen to drive home in the afternoon because you don't have tinted windows

                      It's on my truck. My stuck seems to stay pretty cool with it being 110* out. Cooler than than my cousins VW cc with dealership tint.

                        A computer doesn't have any sharp edges. I'd look for an installer with a knife.

                          Does it look like regular Llumar tint? I only saw a couple of pics from installs, but the tint didn't seem that dark. I want it for the heat factor as well as privacy.

                              Great for blocking heat but not dark at all. I have heard that some people put it on their windshield.
