Default Window tint in WINTER???

I've been told by a few people that getting tint done in the winter is a bad idea due to cold temperatures making the application less than ideal. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Maybe I'm better off waiting for Spring...
Thanks.

I just don't want to dish out the cash, and have it end up being crap 6 months down the line. I went to the place I had my Accent done at, to ask them what they thought, but they had closed already. It was only 5:15... rolleyes.gif
I'll try again tomorrow.

normally shops have 3 or 5 year warranties with free replacement in the case of fading or bubling. so if they are a good shop and anything goes wrong with their job they would fix it.

You're right, i have connections to the guys that own the shop, called Everything Automotive {self explanatory} if I recall correctly, they have a life time guarantee.
Like I said, I'll find out tomorrow...
Thanks.

Damn state police. Ours are called Provincial Police, and since I'm in Ontario... They are known as the O.P.P, yeah, you know me.
{Ontario Provincial Police} But I think its the regular police that bust you for windows that appear too dark and such...

I just want the darkest legal tint available, which is what I had done on the Accent; it was more than dark enough for me. I plan on doing the same to the Elantra...
