Some cars you can get away with the computer cutouts, others you cant.. especially the benz with their frameless doors, the rear windows on trucks....

Just letting everyone know, not hating on anyone... but thats why STARS has good prices and they use solarguar i beleive for their tint, just like VA tint at quality tire
Sorry bud STARS does hand cut and machine cut..and I believe they use F1 tint, which is by far the best tint available for purchase....Stop hating, STARS did my Mom's Porsche, My cars, most of the chantilly area, I wouldn't judge someone elses work when u havent seen the quality! They have done plenty of Benz's, BMW's out the ying yang, Audi's (which is the most pain in the ass car), Porsche...O yeah WRX's come with frameless doors, and they have done plenty of those with no problem. Sounds like someone knows how to tint, but is hatin on the next mans work!

Quality tire and the tint shop do it all by hand, no computer cuts like la tint.

Dang you all are real serious about tints. Who really cares about 1.5mm's of untinted edge? And for the most part, you can't go wrong with any tint place that offers a lifetime warranty.

On TC's the door panel has a special clamp that has to slide a certain way or else it would break, and pulling up & out isn't gonna work...I only know b/c of my friends TC that got tinted up there! Good Luck, If you ask me its all about the tints quality! not the person tinting....Its pretty easy to tint, its product that usually screws tint shops!

Your right, my bad bro. I just get kinda sensitive about that car. I just thought you were seriously trying to joke me. Oh, but people care how fast the car is, they better . And for your bike, yes, I believe we can come to some arrangement. So, I hope there will be no hard feelings, I jumped the gun, but here I am for all of NOVA to see, saying I apologize. Peace.....

its all good bro. like i said just making jokes. i had GS-R back in the day, and thought i had to rep the Hondas right, and nobody was gonna tell how slow i was. but for the money and times i was running i had to get a bike to drag race. no harm done.

as for somebody seeing my bike back behind jiffy lude. wrong. ur only gonna find this bike at MIR or Rockingham.

And Yes Tinter are sensetive bout there Work Qulity. No Respect for film slappers.
