New window tint installation = FAIL!!

So , I used Krak's suggestion of pinstripe tape and I think it turned out pretty well! Time will tell how well the tape stays stuck. Its not PERFECT but for right now it's a major improvement!

It actually looks really good man. I would be happy. What kind of tape did you use?

Looks real good after the DIY. Especially good if the tint dude refunded your money and all you are out is for the pin striping

Thanks, So far I'm happy as long as the tape holds up. I found some pinstriping tape from an auto body shop supplier on eBay. I got 150 feet of 1/2" tape for about $17.

Great job! Told ya it would work.

Not a singe spot on mine has started to peel, yet, but I'll let you know if it does.

And it probably is perfect if you can't tell from 5 feet away....

Ok well then I guess it is perfect because you can't tell unless you REALLY look at it and definitely can't from 2-5 feet away. So good call...thanks for the suggestion. We went out yesterday and we LOVE the tinted windows. Looks great with the black on our boat.

Yeah, it curves no problem and it goes on the outside of the window along the edge. When you look at it, it really just looks like an extension of the seal or part of the frame. It actually looks REALLY good.

Hit up eBay and search pinstripe tape...
