just wanted a couple of local guys opinions here as to whether or not this is a good deal or not

on the xb i can get the 2 front windows tinted and a clear bra on the hood and fenders 12" and full bumper for 225 total installed

or the samething at 18" long with full bumper for 245

 

You said it's 3m But I'm not sure who makes the best stuff. I think that 3m stuff should be good but I don't really know.
I would say if they will install it for that. DO IT!
Go 18, And have them do the mirrors too.

Two windows run about 60 bones for the good stuff so that sounds about right, IMO.
ust make sure that whoever does it . Doesn't cut the film to fit while it's on your paint!!!!!!
The guy who did Josh's had to pay to have his car repainted!

 

MIRRORS ARE AN EXTRA 25$

 

What is the price of new paint on a RS4?

 

also, make sure they do about 8" across the top, above the windshield.

3m is the good stuff, so you're ok there. sounds like a decent price, but I've not had it done... wish i did, but two weeks of driving, and it was too late.

 

as good as that sounds to do the top the rolls are at most 2ft wide and 10 in length the roof would run me about 1200 because of the way the top is shaped they say it isnt going to be easy or worth is since the top is not often het bad enough to chip the paint but i will thin,k about the mirrors

 

you must have misunderstood me- just a strip across the front of the roof right above the windshield.

not the whole top, just the part that faces forward...
trust me, it gets the crap beat out of it.

 

duh sorry tony after reading it again i am an idiot i will have them due that too if it isnt too much we'll see

 

make sure they fold/tuck around the edge of the front of the hood. They didnt do it on mine! Damn dealer! Most quality places will do that but stupid stevinson west didnt do it .

 

3M is listed as the best. The best thing is the thickness. Make sure it is 8 mils thick. That way you get the best possible protection. If the clear bra includes the front bumper, spoiler, and hood, that is a great deal. You might also want to get your headlights done as well as your fog lights if you have them. If not, a small piece to fit on the cutouts is good too.

 

not worried about the head lights as i will be replacing those hopefully before summer i also will make sure the cover the edges i didnt even think about that but i have seen that on a lot of cars i thought it was from the dealers who have a precut kit for the cars shows what i know

 

You can also get pre-cut kits that you can install yourself, but it is a pain is the butt. That is what I did. It was a pain, but I only spent $50 on an 8 mil kit. It was not 3M, but vary comparable. But to install, I needed a heat gun or hair dryer to make the material soft to do the corners, and sometimes the material needs to be stretched. But if you can get someone to do all that plus the window tint for that price, you are getting a great deal.

 

no the guys doing mine are at a body shop who just have solid sheets no precut so the will roll over the edges

 

well after having left my xb with the guys at the body shop i was able to get everything covered the clear bra on full bumper and 12" on hood and fenders(hood in no long enough to need the 18") 8mil 3m quality including the 6" strip above the windsheild between the drainage rails and front windows tinted for a total of $240.00

 

That doesn't sound bad at all.

 

I think you got a great deal!

 

So... How's it look?

 

WELL AFTER DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING I NOTICED A DIFFERENCE I THINK IT IS A MAJOR ISSUES BUT THEY SAY THAT IT IS MINOR YOU DECIDE..... the two front windows are tinted darker than the rest the tinter told me that on all toyota products they tint to what he says is a 22 to 23% and what they use is 20% from the outside there is no visible difference but from the inside i think it just looks weird not bad just weird man i wish i lived outside of colorado i could tint the back ones even darker than i wouldnt mind it so much sporting 10% or less would be the best

 

What percent did they do? And would they only do a certain percentage?

 

they tell me it is either that or lighter at 25-30 percent i think darker is better but man i get a good deal and then it backfires (kinda) just my luck
