Window tint
I had my windows tinted on my 2016 z06. I believe some kind of film was applied to the windows.
i live in another state now and would like a darker tint.
Can a film be applied over the film that I already have, or does the lighter film have to be removed and a darker re applied.
any other options?

To answer OP's question - don't stack tints. Remove what is on there and go with something darker if that's what you're looking for. Get a quality tint that reflects the heat. Well worth it!

And FYI? There are now new tints available that let quite a bit of visible light in (making driving at night MUCH easier) while still blocking UVA, UVB, and IR transmissions. Much cooler interiors.
Do your homework before you talk to a shop or two.

Most shops will remove for free if your buying top of the line Ceramics and such or $40 - 50 bucks most of the time. Remove the old tint for sure..

My opinion: its your car, do what makes you happy. But as others have said, I would be reluctant to stack tint layers out of concern for them delaminating. Tint is pretty easy to remove so just take off the old and apply the new and dont worry about it.
