Hey y'all,

Does anybody know where I can get "perfect fit" tint for the 2k1 civic sedans? I wanna get tint and do it myself, but i dont wanna cut them wrong or whatever.

Most people will say it is better to pay a professional to do it. However, if you really want to DIY and save a few bucks then try this site. I've used these before and they worked very well:

You're right--better call them with your order. I used it on my '94 Accord but have not done my Civic yet.

i think when they say civic coupe 96-01 they mean they have all the patterns for those years, not necessarily that they are all the same pattern. better call em up. Hey you said you tried it. what was the hardest part of tinting? was it the top edge / bottom edge / cutting / cleaning?

cutting was pretty hard..and i alwasy had just one or two tiny air bubbles that i coudnt get out...but my friend did his car prefect..so maybe im just an idiot

You're right, I think the years is just for pricing only. They probably have the new models in stock and just have not updated their website yet. There was really nothing hard about it--just follow the instructions and it will go just fine. I used a hairdryer (gently) around the seams on the top of the roll-down windows to ensure a good adhesion. On the bottom of the windows you just tuck it under the rubber seal. There is no film to cut or trim as it all comes pre-cut to the exact dimensions for your car. Spend a little extra time on those black ceramic dots and read the instruction for these as they are harder to get a firm covering over them.

I'd just find a professional to do it. A bad tint job is like a bad paint job. It looks like shiet and everyone notices it. I only paid $140 to tint the whole car with a lifetime guarantee. The guy also did the back window with one piece. Say no to seams![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I agree, a one-piece back window looks much better then the seams. For the price difference it's hardly worth the hassel of the DIY wintdow tint.

Spend the money to get it done professionally or your ride might look like ****. You'll have wasted your money. $150 is not a bad investment especially when you can get a lifetime guarantee with it...

If you aren't comfy with doing the cutting, then you probably shouldn't be doing the application either. Take it to a good tint shop and get it done right.

save the trouble and get it done by professional. My friend and I did those DIY tint on my friend accord, it was a pain in the a*s and later we just tear it up and go get it done by professional.
