True..Hondas dont require much.

But I live in indiana, and a friend did mine with WALMART 2 1/2% tint for $30.

It will go purple in less then a year.

to the OP

Factory tint is in the glass and will not peal. If there is two layers, one tinted and one clear then the clear may be a thicker safety film.

If you want to keep your rear defroster then do not let the shop scrape the film, it will cost a lot more to remove but some people are willing to pay it.

Oh I left out wiper blades.

Get the expensive tint (semi-metallic?), it lasts much better.

What makes the tint go purple anyways? If I keep it nice and dont clean it with chemicals i shouldnt...

Lower end tint is a dyed material the cheep dye fades with time. All Dyed film will turn, the better stuff just takes a lot more years.

We stripped one of my trucks that had been done for 8 years, it was just starting to turn.

Use Non amonia based cleaners on it. We sale a squirt bottle to our customers and give cheap refills of good cleaner.

it is a tint with a clear thicker film over it since the section that is peeling at my dirvers side window is a curling clear film. the back window is starting to "let go" which there is a 3" long n' slim air bubble. also on my rear passenger side window there is a tiny little air bubble in the center of the window. to me i thought it was factory since the way they did the tinting was pretty **** clean lol. all lines are straight nice clean cuts.

as for the rear defroster, it doesn't work. there is a little module that is tack welded to ground the defroster unit that sits under the rear dash panel. well that tack weld broke from the pressue and flexing of that panel and left me w/o a working rear defroster. no biggie though, your freezing winter is my sitting out in the sun with flip flops on. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

here is the thing. there are no tinting places where i live. hence, why i'm asking the forum.

yes i can google search for a place in miami, in which will net me hundreds of tint shops with no recommendations. being that there are a lot of florida people on the forum and me NOT knowing much of the mainland florida area i felt it would be best to have a place recommended to me so that I would not have to waste HOURS on locating a reputable place.. i do not have the convenience that you have.

EITHER WAY!..

thanks much IDSkot for the information given to me.

i called them not too long ago just after i got off work and asked them a few questions.

they'll do my 5-10% all around with sun strip and my 40% windshield. they charge to remove the tint which is 50 bucks which i'm fine with. overall less than 200.

.

Some places use a plotter to cut the tint. Companys provide a cut template and you let the machine do the work.
