Default 2007 and 2006 tC Window size the same??/

I want to tint my tC and I found a kit and was wondering what everyone thinks also was wondering if it will fit the 07 tC.

dont do it. take your car to a reputable tint shop. you will be happier that way. I wouldnt trust those kits. I never heard of solar gard, llumar is good stuff. Spend the extra cash you wont regret it.

not even. you can get a tint job for about $150~180.

but do not do it yourself. spare yourself the time and money that it would cost if you messed up, because tinting isn't easy.

Depends on where you go and type of tint you use. I had 3M Tint (lifetime guarantee) installed on 4 windows (35%) + hatch (20%) and it ran me $225. Best thing to do is ask your friends. I'm sure they can steer you in the right direction for relatively cheap. Whatever you do, DON'T DIY! Unless you like bubbles!

I was quoted $220 for mine using 3M...

General consensus seems to be ranging from $110 to $225.

Agreed. In my region of north Atlanta the price seems to sit around $200 for a tint, but in Florida they're under $100 for the same stuff for whatever reason. You think they'd charge more since more people in the Sunshine State can make use of one...

i got 20% tint and i have a viper car alarm, and my proximity was set high to where you couldnt even walk by the car without it going off. but after i put the tint it doesnt do it on the sides any more. just the winshield if you wave your hand over it goes of crazy!. But no one told me if i got tint id lose the proximity on the sides, something about the tint has metal in it and that s why it cant work.
