So I'm at the tint place right now and my truck is currently being tinted after much consideration I decided to back off to 50/20 mainly cause I do a lot of night driving and I work rift next to the court house and police station where they love to give tint tickets and 50% is the legal limit on fronts

Sweet, glad your finally getting it done! I can do 20% on all my back ones and 35% on my fronts, but the 20% is a little rough to see through at night backing up to trailers and such lol

See when my step dad finally starts letting me take out his bass boat I'm just gonna order one of those back up camera systems for 30 bucks off eBay since I've already got the touchscreen headunit

And it will make backing up into parking garage spots easier at school

Turned out pretty slick! I really need to get mine done. Usually after I pick up a new vehicle the windows are tinted within the first 3-4 days, I have had this one a month and nothin yet lol

Thx I thought the same thing
I went over it with a fine tooth comb and there are a couple spots that r a little disappointing but not a big deal, they didn't trim it completely straight on the back window but u can't see it from the outside and couple of the corners weren't flat so I just pushed em down with my thumb and there fine

But I do have a question I'm noticing little bubbles here and there, doesn't looks like air bubbles cause u can't see them from the outside, is this just a sign that will go away once its cured?

i'm not too sure about the bubbles, imo not good. try to squeegee them out with a credit card.

edit: oh they arent air bubbles, so i dunno, maybe its dust or something.

So I justvgot to school and had a chance to further examine these bubbles, and yep they're air bubbles so it looks like tomorrow I'm going back there to have them redo all my windows except for the driver's side. This really annoys me.
