Angry Got my windows tinted...

i got the windows on the EVO tinted on Tuesday and the car has been sitting since... well, i washed it today and i have a ****LOAD of fine scratch marks on the rear quarter panels...!!

do they cut the tint on the outsdie of the window...? it looks like someone was leaning and rubbing up on my **** with some ****in jeans or something...

i'm going back tomorrow, to make a complaint... do you think they will pay to have the damage repaired... i think it should be able to be buffed out, but i'm not sure...

they will deny that they did it, because, like said above, they dont need to do anything on the outside of the car
But good luck.. I'd go back and complain though, never know, they might actually confess..

Good luck, They are going to say you did it, you have too look over it then and there. But I do know what you are saying, you should not have to look over your car for a tint job.

Sorry to hear about the scratches. Do you have any pics of the car with the tints? What levels did you go with? How does it look?

Diesel,
Do you have pics of your new rims on your car and do you still have the old ones for sale?

20%

I have new pics in my registry...

As for the scratches - most good tint places have people wear sweats or other non-scratching clothes and make everyone take off watches, rings, etc. (all good paint shops, too).

NO

they cut the tint on the outside of the window. then peal the backing and stick it on the inside.
aparently tinting is some devil act no one has seen.
