i want to put tints on my 92 camry but what brand should i get and does anyone have any how to do instructions. thanx

DON'T do it yourself.....just go and get it done at a shop.....tints are one thing that totally suck when you screw it up....

it should be somewhere around $150-200 CAN to get pretty decent tints...don't go for cheap stuff either (i.e. offers for $100 tints)...

good luck!

Most good tint jobs should cost about $200. Check out this site for some tips

Some brands to ask for include SolarGard or other metalisized brands.

Keep in mind that those "Lifetime" guarantees they offer have a catch. They give themselves something like 20% margin of error. What that means is they'll only replace if more than 20% of the work start to bubble and peel. Read the contract.
