Default Is it too cold to install 3M Vinyl tint blackout

While i was doing some ordering on Ebay, i ran across a great deal for Vinyl blackouts. I dont think i could wait until April or May to put them on. They are the same ones from Autobadges.com.

There is not certain temp it has to be. Ok, i was just wondering because my garage is not heated. I got a good deal on some LCA's and the guy is throwing in the tint for 12 bucks.

I think i will bring out the big space heater for good measure.

How much are you gettin charged? I got a guy in MD who's sellin the tints for 25 bucks, including everything and the side markers...6 bucks shippin, I'm guna meet him up either tonight or this weekend to pick them up. and for vinyl stripes I got a place in Baltimore that sells all kinds of sized shelby stripes for about 40-50 bucks. thats includin the pin stripe. They also got like every color you could think of...

It'll just take longer for them to "cure" on the taillights, meaning for all the little bubbles to disappear. Same goes for tinted windows. The colder it is, the longer it takes

Well, i am only getting charged 12 bucks and the decals will be shipped along with the LCA's.

But 25 bucks sounds like a good deal. What do they normally sell for?

yeah here are all the links,

#1. The guy for the Tailight Tint only sells the 50%, not black out, but like i said it's 20 for the tint, then 6 $ shipping, and another 5 if you want the side marker tint so figure 31$ total shipped... Here's the link : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...QQcmdZViewItem

#2. The Vinyl Decals are from a place called Baltimore Street Mods. Their website is www.baltimorestreetmods.com but their ebay store is where you buy stuff from them. That link is Click here

If you wait a couple weeks, hopefully I'll get the tints this weekend, I can show you what they look like and if they're worth it or not? The shelby race stripes I won't be able to let you know how much they are until I get them when I'm back down in FL, however, I can tell you that they do stripes for a local Ford Dealership so I'd say they're fairly trust worthy. That and Ebay has rating for each seller. That being said I've been waitin two days for the tint guy to respond to me on when and where i can pick up the tints.
