Tinted CL's
For the guys who have tinted their windows:
There are dots around the edge of our back window especially on top. When you guys got your windows tinted was there little bubbles around the dots????

It seemed like I had alot of dots right after I tinted my windows but there is definitely less dots now. I don't know, maybe they leave over time or something.

Is it a layer of clear vinyl that goes over the window to make a smoother surface to tint on?

the first time I did them it was pretty good. Then someone broke my rear glass. The last time was pretty sketch. Didn't come out great, very noticable. I've never seen a CL w/ a good job done on it though.
I may go vinyl

looks darker than 50% to me, or did you have the windshield tinted as well? BTW, your car looks clean man
What kind of exhaust do you have, looks VERY nice!

i had 20% done to my car, and the part your talking about, I didn't have bubbles.
My tint job was done really well, no flaws of anykind. The only thing is that the tint looked like it was coming off of those spotted places, but it looked normal to me. I just figure its inevitable unless you do use Vinyl.
My friend used Vinyl on his integra, and it looks good.

I got 14816 cause it has bigger tips. If your thinking of getting one you should consider getting custom stainless steel piping 2.5" in diameter. This will make you exaust sound deep!
