Tinting the 86
Hey guys,
Went to see my favourite tint guy today for tinting and struck a snag. He couldnt get behind the third brake light on the window. ive read around about how to get behind it. Obviously the guy i use wants to do a good job so he doesnt want to just shove the tint in, nor does he want to cut around it (yuk) Anyone had theirs tinted yet ? or better still has anyone tried removing the light ? the ones ive read involve removing the whole parcel shelf etc. Thanks in advance |

We've had our demos done and the guy did have an issue with the brake light but did manage to get both cars done in a couple of hours. The biggest consideration at the end of the day is the windows dropping to open and close the doors. They seem to settle over the space of a week or so though. |

Maj3sty: i know a guy who has done all my tint and he is really good ....he doesnt want to damage my car so he had the car this morning and told me he cant do it.
M0nty: the dealer i bought from i rang them and spoke to the pre deivery manager and he personally does the tints (dunno if its true or not) and they do the tints on site.....so i am considering asking them to do it. |

Hopefully Rob figures out a way in due time, there's no way of detatching it?
