I whent to get mines done, and they told
Me for the front ones I had to take off my door panels. Did you guys have to do that? Thanks

 

yes, front panels need to come off

 

Ok just making sure I didn't want to pull them for no reason. Thanks darkis250

 

One more thing. Is there a diy for the panels? Or where do I search. Sorry for the noob question

 

it is better to take off the door panel, becaude the tweeter pod is in the way and if you remove the panel then it will make for a better job and easier installation. door panel is easy to remove. just make sure they do a good job on the rear window! because if it has to be redone you will be in for a surprise ( defrost lines will be removed, even if a steamer is used) this applies to the IS models that i am aware of.

 

i never took my door panels off and it came out to perfection

 

You don't have to take the door panels off, but some people/shops prefer to. The shop I took it to did so and they did an excellent job making sure they were careful with it too.

 

I Bought My Car Pre-Owned & Had Windows Tints Already.

I Have 17% In The Front & 10% In The Back. lol

 

If the right shop does it, the door panels don't need to be removed.

 

The shop I used did not remove the door panels.

 

getting my front windows tinted in a few weeks so this is definitely good info. thanks!

 

The shop that did my tint pulled the door panels. Just made it easier for them to deal with the tweeter pods sticking up. They did a great job, and you shouldn't be concerned about them pulling the door panels if they are a reputable shop. When i called my guy and told him the make and model, he already knew that the tweets stuck up and would be an issue. He had done IS's before....... Just a couple of screws hold the panels on anyway. Not a big deal at all.

 

What I WANT to do is get my front windshield tinted. That may just be my next purchase......

 

no need to remove the door panel.. i also tinted my front shield also..

 

The defroster lines will peel too?! I was thinking about getting the light tint the dealer put on before i bought the car and get something darker, but now i'm iffy
