Do I need to remove prior window tint before retinting?

Do I have to remove the very light tint I already have on my windows if I want to make them darker or can I just put the new film over the old? I'm gonna take it to a shop so how much might the removal cost? I know that a tint (7 window) is gonna cost around $150....

    remove the old tinting, just look on team-integra.net and go under articles and then projects and look for removing tinting. Its fairly easy and it worth it

    You can leave the old tint on, but you might want to factor in the percentage of the old tint to the new one...if you're concerned about it being legal...but if tint isn't against the law to have it at a certain % you'll have no problems

    The bubble only occure if you open your window right after the new tinting is put on, if you wait the 2 to 3 days you'll be fine and make the window is clean before the new tint is put over the old...it won't look bad at all, it'll make the window look darker which isn't a bad thing

    Yup, unless you want a whole bunch of bubbles and some ghetoo looking windows you need to remove the tint. Take the tinit off yourself. Razor blades and goo-gone.
