So what's the rule for a regional group-buy?

Try calling up a few places that do the precut kits. Ask them if you can get a group together if they will give you a 15% discount and still have them handle the money and shipping. I’m sure you can find a reliable company that is slow that would work with you for at least a 10% discount if you can get 20 people in on it.

I will tell you the truth that I hate doing group buys where I have to trust someone else that I do not know to do there part of the deal. I would think this would bring a few people out of the shadows like me that shy away form stuff like this. No I do not want any tine for my ride.

Buy the way dose anyone know the markup for that stuff is?

Well, first off this wouldn't be a 'pay and pray for delivery' situation, but a 'bring your payment with you to the installer and drive away with it installed' situation as long as one was in the region. So I figured maybe a few more would nibble just because of that if they were thinking about getting tint anyways.

As for the pre-cut kit idea, I'll keep looking for that, but I couldn't find any pre-cut kit makers that would do V-Kool even after a lot of hunting. Cheap Do-It-Yourself doesn't mix with ultra-expensive parts usually. And AFAIK $1500 is around wholesale for a full roll of V-Kool 70. It's just that stupid-expensive, sadly. Even the tint-shop said they usually only pay $100-$250 for a full roll of tint, this stuff was just a whole other world to them they didn't know even exists. Admitedly, this is in the midwest, you don't see a lot of high-class Lexus and BMW's and Benz out here, with the per-year property tax on your vehicle. :-)
