where can i buy tint online?

Hey guys...i tried searching the forums but really couldnt find anything.

anyways do u guys and gals know of a place online where i can buy 3m tint or something similar in quality?

I have a friend who worked as a tint guy who will hook me up for free.

so basically im looking for a place online that sells 3m or equivalent... also maybe clear bra materials?

thanks in advance

You will have to buy it by the roll. By the time you fork out for a roll you could of just taken your car to a tint shop and had it done and then have a warranty.

I haven't seen any of the higher quality films offered pre-cut. There probably is a good reason...no name tint is about ~ $80-100 pre-cut. A good tint shop will charge $150-200 for a good job...definitely makes the shop's services and guarantees worth it.

If your tint guy was going to hook you up, can't he cut his own tint? I hope your buddy does it as good as a shop on your new Evo X. I'd do my own tint on a crappy car, not my evo, IMO.

+1 by the time you find it, buy it, and have it shipped (not cheap either during holidays) it could already be done. and since it's cooler outside which has potential to cause problems with fresh tint, i would personally rather have the warranty and piece of mind that it was done correctly and can be quickly and easily fixed for free if any problems arrise.

hmm interesting replies. Thanks for the replies guys!

I guess ill have to shop around town then. I guess its worth it to spend a few more dollars to get a warranty with it.

Im just waiting to finally get tint so that i can finally not get blinded by more than half of the cars at night!

Make sure you get tints that last and don't fade into ugly purple film over time.
