Mate my care is allllreadddddyyyyyyy fulllllllliiiiiiii fullllllllllliiiiiiiii Siiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkk!!!!

[hippy]

thats good to hear the interest .. i'm going to go see this guy today ... surprising thing is more and more people have recommended this guy ... since i've been askin people about tint ... but yeah get prices later today ... if u could please post your prices then that would be good ... it would also be good to have a receipt too .. i'm more worried about quality and guarantee then price really .. but good to have cheap tint too

[hippy]

plus if u have a receipt then when the cops pull u over .. just shove it in their face ..

[sskylinee]

true..

how many ppl interested in getting tint roughly?

[MattR]

If you are worried bout the dark tint, do what I did when I got pulled over when I had my white one with dark tint. Have the windows down then they cant ask you to put them up, it worked for me.

[hippy]

why can't they ask u to put them up?? i guess they could .. but i was thinkin of this because i want dark tint for sun protection and thats illegal ... the other good thing about dark tint is so people lookin to steal stuff can't see inside your car ... they are the 2 main reasons why i would want darker tint .. 3rd is because it just looks good

OK i just went to SCORPION TINT just off main north rd.

The price is 295 for his best tint, his regular price is 365 but the normal rrp of the tint from the tint maker is 495.

The tint is called endurance, its a metal film and not a dye, colour type which is prone to fading which is what just about every other film is on the market including tint a cars top film, formulae 1. Someone correct me on that one if i'm wrong. So yeah basically this film will have a lifetime warranty on it on everything, fading, colour, clarity etc etc. and its a true lifetime warranty, regular lifetime warranty is 6.5 years which is set by the film industry or whatever it is, can't remember the exact name. so anyways there are different types u can get, legal, not legal u just gotta go there and chose. he also has lots of other tints which doesn't cost as much but i want the best cause this one reduces heat by 60-70%, i dont' have all the specs with me but this is what i want. he said that if we find anyone else doing the same tint for a better price then for us to tell him.

so yeah what are ur thoughts??

you really can't compare this tint to say something from tint a car .. its like comparing holdens to fords its just different so i guess i just like this one cause its better.

[hippy]

1 more thing is .. 295 seemed ok but i bet if we got 10 poeple he might do it for less maybe ... the problem is that he doesn't want to get burnt in that we say we got 10 15 .. whatever amound of people and then everyone backs out in the end so he ends up doing a really cheap tint for 2 people, he said its happened to him before so thats why he was didnt' want to give a price for 10 people ... he rather just gave us like 50 buck discount ... i couldn't persuade him to give a price for 10 people ... i also even said i would give him a deposite for everyone who was interested and that he could keep the deposite if those people backed out... but he said he didn't like that cause he didnt' like the idea of takin peoples money ... he was very honest and straight forward and didn't knock the competition... he would of spent at least half an hour with me just talkin and explaining stuff ... good customer service is hard to come by these days...

[TIMMMAYYY]

$295s good for me, Im fine to do that.

count me in

[hippy]

you can get the cheaper ones but they aren't guaranteed against fading ... but i'm in the 295 as well .. thats 2 people so far!

[hippy]

another thing which i asked the tinter guy, it is in fact illegal to tint the front 2 windows as hard as it is to beleive, the reason why so many people think its ok to tint the front is because the laws in SA are behind the other states which allow the fronts to be tinted to 35%, i'm not too sure about the tinting of the back windows though.

[Chris32]

Sounds good, so thats for both front windows, rear window and the two smaller ones behind the front windows?

Did that guy mention anyhting about how much it cost to take old tint off, as I have shitty tint on the rear window and the two smaller windows that needs to be removed

How hard is the old stuff to get off?? Will a couple of hours of attacking it with a stanley knife blade and some solvent get it off?

[hippy]

yeah .. i edited first post .. 60 bucks to get it off i think .. unless u want to do it urself .. u can go visit him urself .. just mention me i think he will remember .. then u can go see some of his work ... my friend did her car there last saturday .. turned out pretty good... and she paid 365 .. so i guess 295 is pretty good.

[Chris32]

Cool, for 65 bucks I'd rather get them to do it, I can see myself making a huge mess just to save $65!! Best to let the pro's do it

Put me down for sure, sounds really good

Good work getting this going!!

[hippy]

no worries .. i'm still lookin to do mine in a months time ... anyone else??

we got lots of interests but not many people are definites so far!! ... 295 is a good price, u can go there and ask for cheaper ones if u like i guess

[TIMMMAYYY]

just thinkn about it, 295 is pretty damn expensive.... well, compared to a lot of other stuff out there.

[Nozila]

im assuming that $295 results in driver, passenger, rear quarters and back windows all tinted with me being able to choose degree of tint darkness, yes or no?

[hippy]

yeah 295 thats what u get .. but hey if u think this is too expensive he has others ... go to tint a car and the absolute best they will do for u is 250 and i doubt u will get that from them for their best tint which is btw not as good as this one ... but its up to u guys ... i'm going to try and get the price down further .. but i doubt i could squeeze much more out of the poor guy ... my best suggestion is to go to him and ask him what hes got ... he will take the time to talk to u and tell u stuff ... go to tint a car ... they won't explain shit i reckon ...

he will do passengers .. back sides and the back ... and u get to chose the tint darkness and maybe even the reflectiveness of the tint to i think. not 100% sure on that one.

[hippy]

btw i'm sure he can do tints all the way down to like 150 bucks .. but that tint wouldn't be that good ...
