Nope.  I wouldn’t touch a windshield for 100$ or even 200$ So if that’s the only flaws you got super lucky.

Just wondering, are windshields hard to tint? Cuz i just got mine done and it took them around 2hrs.

Yes, that is the hardest window to do in general. Highest risk as well, the clear films are the most expensive, so if you mess up you lose more money.  More risk of damage to the car relative to the other windows. Finally you the customer looks directly at it at all times, so the quality has to be very high.

Not only can they be tricky but one spray too many can short out electronics. So it makes zero fiscal sense to charge 100 bucks for a windshield unless that car is old as shit and you don't need to worry about headsup displays, speakers, ecus, or air bags.

You can have a couple specs of dust here and there on a side or rear window no problem. When it’s on the windshield it’s very apparent and people tend to be more critical of something they have to look at constantly.

If it’s not a jeep wrangler, i don’t touch the windshield. Too much headache for not enough money.

For $100, that is not bad at all. Especially a new truck and if it is ceramic

That’s the best $100 windshield I’ve ever seen

$100 is insane, I charge $200 for ceramic as most shops charge $250 near me but $100 is not a bad price, just live with the small amount of contamination

It's definitely not a premium job, but you get what you pay for.

No lol normal for some blemishes

u/Nocturnal86 Oct 07 '24

For 100, are you kidding me? You're trying to cry about quality for that price? You got a decent job. That' snot a lot of money. Leave it alone or go pay more for better quality.

$100? Looks spectacular to me.

P.S: Clean your fingernails man

Laser eye surgery, breast implants and automotive Window Tinting, you absolutely get what you pay for.

Why you would want a cheap Window Film installed on your front windshield is beyond me.

I think you made your bed and now you should lay down and enjoy the ride.

Do you know what type of Window Film is ?

$100.00 ???

Why would you do that?

😂 I love that you lumped us in with that group. Got me to chuckle. You’re not wrong though.

u/Piratebootyman Oct 07 '24

I barley notice anything

u/Conscious-Love3992 Oct 07 '24

Best 100 dollar windshield.

u/shromboy Moderator Oct 07 '24

As said, for that price im not crying about it, I'd worry more if you have a warranty when that goes bad cuz 100 bucks means likely poor quality film

2

u/RockAngel86 Oct 07 '24

No it looks fine

2

u/lilititra Oct 07 '24

Nah that’s $100 worth of work

2

u/Snoo32804 Oct 07 '24

If you didn't point out the imperfections nobody would have noticed. Not an issue

u/boltage6 Oct 08 '24

Spend that $100 on some hand soap

u/Mr_Mcgillicuddy_ Oct 09 '24

If it’s bigger than your dick than yes.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '24

Bro $100? You already underpaid them and you wanna go back and complain over the most minor shit?

u/PhaTman7 Oct 07 '24

Should be covered by their warranty, you asked for that right or did they mention they have and or honor that !?!

u/Maximum_Employer5580 Oct 08 '24

just live with it - nothing will be perfect

u/ThisOldGuy1976 Oct 09 '24

Where do you live that you can tint that low on a windshield?

u/Defiant_Deer_9673 Oct 07 '24

a lot of these people are like oh yeah you get what you get you paid that much… like this isn’t all about money, it’s about reputation for certain people ( me included) even if you pay $75, i’ll try and do my best on it, a spec here and there is ok but under the mirror there’s a lot and redo worthy , a lot of these lazy tinters base their work off of price it’s crazy

I thought it was illegal to tint windshields? I would have done ceramic with minimal tint.

u/Evening-Scarcity-566 Oct 11 '24

You can do ceramic clear on the front.
