gila tint and parking light question
Doe sanyone know if Gila brand window tint is any good? I know 3M is the best, but I can't find it around anywhere here. Anyone know a national dealer that carries it?
Also, I want my parking lights to match my headlights. Can I just replace the bulbs? They look clear when they're not on, but when you turn them on they're orangish, so I think it's just the bulb, is that the case?

Gila tint sucks. That is the famous purple crap you see on alot of cars window. Gila tint is a dyed film as opposed to a quality tint like 3M or Mattico (sp?) which is a metalized film that doe not change color.
For the frusteration/quality/warrenty, it's more worth having a pro shop do it IMO. I did my beater with 5% gila just to do it & if I were to do it over, it's one of the few things I'd be willing to pay someone else to do to my car.
