However, many people have a hard time deciding whether they should use the cheap pre-cut window tinting kit or have a professional installer custom fit window tint film for their specific vehicle, for a little more money. Regardless of which one that driver decides to use, each one has their own set of pro’s and con’s. Deciding on which one to go with depends on the driver and what their specific needs are.
Custom Cut Window Tint InstallationA without the use of a computer or any type of technology. Each piece of custom window tint is cut specifically for the vehicle that is sitting in front of the professional, which ensures that the window tint will fit perfectly on each window. This custom cut film is by far better than pre-cut, because pre-cut window tint film is pre-cut using a generic template for a each make and model of vehicle, instead of each car individually. Even though two vehicles are the same make and model, does not mean that the windows exactly match.
In many cases, The rubber gaskets around the edges of a vehicles windows do not match, even if they are identical in every other way. This is because some of them are installed tighter than others,meaning those one-size-fits-all pre-cut window tints will have gaps around the windows. In addition, some vehicles are designed with side windows that will come out of frame when they are rolled down. When the window is rolled up, a section of the glass is still in the window frame. When a pre-cut window tint is installed to the window, it will look great if the window is rolled up, but when the window is down there will be large gaps around the windows.
Pre-Cut Window Tint FilmA pre-cut window tint is pre-cut using a computer for a specific make or model of vehicle.
