Hey All,

 

I think this question is styling related?

 

Anyways, I live in a hot climate and need to tint my windows for survival.  

 

The biggest issue right now is price because the tint shops don't have a digital template to use for cutting to the correct size.  Manually cutting the film is driving the price up from $300 or less to almost $700!

 

Is anyone familiar with a place that sells pre-cut window tinting kits or has a digital template to download?

 

I have a 1997 Rover Mini, FYI.

 

thanks in advance!

I didn't think it was $400 of labour to cut some tint? Just measure on the outside of the window, cut them oversize then apply and trim? Isn't that how tint shops worked for the last 50 years?  Or am I missing something?

What Timmy said. I’ve just taken my windows to my local tinter and he did all windows bar the front for £200. And to be honest I thought that seemed a lot but he also had to remove 15 year old crappy tint that was already on them
