Hi again everyone...

Still waiting on a few parts for my suspension upgrade, so in the meantime, I booked my car in for its window tint.:)

I had a particular look in mind, and I have to say, with the advice of Tim the installer, I got exactly what I was after...:headband:

I was mindful that I didn't want a really blacked out look, I've had that before on other cars, but for my Mustang I wanted somthin slightly more subtle..... Tim was telling me that this week he'd had a visit from the owner of a yellow Mustang, and he'd advised jet black on that car, but didn't want to do it until he'd done mine....:hail:

It soon became obvious that it wasn't going to be a straight forward install.:(
Access to the bottom corners is very limited, and the rear parcel shelf was causing a problem.
Tim said the only solution to do a proper job was to remove the parcel shelf..
Being a perfectionist, he took his time, and carefully removed the side panels, and the shelf, and this made the job much easier..

The bottom line is I'm over the moon with the look, and the standard of work, with something like this, if it looks crap everyone will see it, so it has to be spot on.:cheers:

The wife also had her Jeep done by John the other installer at Ultimate tinting....she's in the Mafia so wanted the full on blacked out look:eyebulge::lol::lol: But really its just to hide her horse stuff, saddles n shit that get transported in the Jeep:paddle:

Thanks guys:)...... Had the blacked out look on my Aston, and it looked great, but something was telling me that for this car, I needed to tone it down a bit...

Glad I did..:thumbsup:

Another great video Enoch.

Tinting laws are pretty primitive in the UK.
Hey; we need to be looked after or we'll hurt ourselves! ;)

Might be different if we got any sun I guess...

Great videos, thanks. (Have to get you a steadycam).

Good idea to tint the Jeep; don't want someone looking in and seeing a horses head in there! ("she's in the Mafia so wanted the full on blacked out look But really its just to hide her horse stuff.........")

No....just a donkys years old, canon video camera...... It's the type that still uses tapes:lol::lol:

It doesn't help that I'm not to steady on my legs either:(

My Mrs is the techie.....she has a top of the range GoPro and a canon SLR that does video.....

I really should learn how to switch em on....might get better results:)

Very, very nice Andy. I'm tempted to make the 300 mile round trip for that kind of quality.

Due to the amount of work involved....it's ÂŁ250inc VAT for the rear, and 2 small side windows... In any level of tint you want, from full black 5% to almost clear 95%

To put the cost into perspective, I arrived at 9:30, and left at 2:00pm.....Although Tim did say the next one won't take as long, as he now knows how the parcel shelf comes out..

He did say that in the same time to do a Mustang, he could do 2 Range Rovers....:lol::lol:

Oh, and they can provide a courtesy car if required:)
