Default sunshield

I got my windows tinted at Sunshield about 2.5 years ago. It was on a brand new accord. Hamid was the person I talked to. They charged me 145 (including fronts). Although the tinting was decent, they broke one of the plastic clips covering the screws on the door and left the paneling a bit loose. I had to go through hell to get them to fix it. He came out saying "Don't pull this back home **** with me." Also, he is very cheap about his lifetime warranty. Plus, I know that many tint shops will remove and replace your front tint for a very low price or even free if you got it done with them originally. (when you get a tint ticket) Well Hamid charged me $20 to remove and wanted $60 more to redo. Although I didn't have much problem with their tint (it did bubble in the beginning), I would not reccomend his shop due to lack of good service.

p.s. The tint also did not go up to the very edge of the windows. There was about a little less than a centimeter at the top of clear glass left. It bothered me a little but not enough to let them take apart my car again.

Did you guys have any problems with the door panels besides "New 2 Lex"? This is my main concern, MY BEAUTIFUL DOORS FIT AND FINISH!!!

Are the windows(door) tinted to the top of the glass? and at least 1/2" of the bottom hidden in the door to prevent peeling at the bottom?

I might tackle this myself depending on the prices I'm quoted...

Because I hate to loose my size 9 if some one mess up my panels...
