Pre-Cut Window Tint for Aveo?

Post by tronno »

I can't find anywhere to get pre-cut window tint for my 2004 Chevy Aveo.

Anybody know where I can get this?

Thanks.

I have never heard of pre cut tint.

As far as I knew, each tint installation was put into each car from a larger roll.

Maybe I just haven't researched tint enough to know there are pre cut kits available.

If you go to eBay and look for "precut window tint" you'll see a lot of people selling it.

Apparently, each vehicle's window dimensions are loaded onto a computer and the window tint is cut with the same sort of machine that cuts vinyl letters for signs. This ensures a 100% fit and consistency every time. Plus takes the effort out of lining up the tint to the vehicle, cutting the tint, yadda yadda.

hmm personaly i would do it myself.... precut sounds... err dodgey ok maybe for the rear window as that is killer to cut right... but side windows are very easy if you use good foil and take windows out car....

Fit..Cut..Stick it on...use a vile(dno if this is correct word you know that manicure thing also :p ?) to round the edges

do it like the pros do

stick it to the out side of your window sticky side up dont unpeal it though

roll the window down about 1/2" and cut it out (top half)

roll it back up cut the rest of your sides and bottom leave alittle longer

open your door and put it in and make sure it fits then unpeal it and stick it on

me and my buddy used to go around and do peoples cars
we could do a window in 5 minutes or less
