ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Tinted my windows

    I just sold my Accord but did some painfull tinting before that. Wanted to share it. My first tinting experience, it was a painful process doing the back glass, with the curve, having no heat gun and squeegeing etc...But, I am satisfied with the results.

    Stuff used for side glasses. Cheap walmart 35% tint. This stuff is easy to work with than the B***k M***c.


    Used this for the back window. 20% Got it from Auto Zone, 4 to 5 strips.


    Final result. It's not neat but not that bad either. Notice the bubbles and spaces...






    What do you guys think?

              i would never tint a rear window by myself. Let me know what happens when you use a rear defrost in winter/negative temp.

                Not bad, I just did mine with an "ebay" precut kit, the sides were easy as hell but I ended up paying $70 to get the rear window done, but it's one piece and noo bubbles.

                  I can't agree with you more. It's kinda fun once you get the hang of it though!

                  I kinda tested it using the defroster and nothing bad happened! I'm not sure on that though

                  Yeah, I thought of the ebay kit, but wanted to do it the hard way (youtube video inspiration) I tried to do it as a one piece at first but, it kept getting bubbles and etc. The strips are easy to work with.
