got my tint and clear bra installed today

kenchan

the installer used a roll, correct? not sure why he/she did not wrap it around...

My installer that I have used for three previous vehicles does not use the pre made templates and cuts them by hand via roll correct. My preference is not to roll around the edges. Some do some don't. Some prefer rolled some don't ;-)

oh... huh, kind defeats the propose of using rolls if you dont wrap around the panels completely and tuck it under, but if that's your preference then ok. btw, your tint looks good.

Not really. I had my previous ride done and it lasted well for 19k miles before trading it for this car.
Also, I paid $650 inc tax for tint and clear film application so I'm happy ive usee them for 4 cars now hence better rates. More so knowing the paint will he okay by the time I trade up in around 3 years time.

yah it does matter to me... im not talking about durability, im taking about visible lines. i would wrap it over to the back side of the panel, and also tuck it into the nooks when using rolls. i install clearbra myself.

the pre-cut ones are okay to leave near the border cause they weren't intended to be wrapped around the panel.

but again, if that's your preference that's fine. im just saying the benefit of using rolls is to allow the installer to hide the lines better than the precut ones. not trying to start an argument.

Fair enough man who am I to argue with a person that does this job ( you ), but the center line on the hood would be visible unless the whole hood was wrapped. I really do not see the edges that are near the panel edges, just notice the line in the middle of hood and front fenders. But I get your point. I am happy with the price I paid and quality of film and application. $650 inc tints.
