Well, there's at least one how-to that shows installation using the outside of the glas to cut the tint into shape before installing it on the inside.

But, I'm sure the installer can work around it.

Personally, I'd think about getting the tint first of you're going to do both around the same time.

Yes, window tints are installed on the inside of the glass and installers use the outside of the glass to cut the tint to shape like Goobers said. And like Goobers, I think you would be better off doing the tint first.

But, I also think you should wait a week or so after the tint to allow it to adhere to the glass properly because you will need to lower the window and (re)move the window gasket to get the visors in if they have clips.

U pay the tint shop to do it lol who cares what's more covenent unless it's your friend also they cut extra all the way around and trim after it's on or if they r hi tech they use a plotter and cut the exact size needed anyway it dose not matter what order u do it in I would so what ever I have first unless u have the money then I would still put the visers on cuz I hate having stuff like that chilling in the house when it should be on the car lol I just wanted to share my mispelled two cents cuz I seem to be the only one that is offering this side lol

lol i do have the money to tint right away, and my friends brother knows the best tinting place in the area so ill probably just go get it tinted first lol thanks for the input guys ^^ besides knowing that they use the outside to cut the shape, i think it would result in a better tint job?
