DAMN that's 20%? That's easy to see through. My boy's 20% looks way darker than that, but it may just be cuz it's so sunny in your pics. But man that looks SO clean with the black wheels and tail light tint, I CAN'T WAIT to get my car tinted, couple more weeks, and I can afford it

To get a good tint job here it's like 200-250, there aren't many places that do it well. I've been waiting to get a good tint job, rather than a half ass job.

looks good, just got mine done too. did they have problems with it sticking to the upper part of the rear window? they told me those little tiny dots are paint and the tint has trouble sticking up there, said they could do a strip of vinyl up there.

search. this has been discussed many times before. you can have them put a strip of black vinyl across the dot matrix.

mmmm k where to start. yes its 20% and it looks darker in person i think. it ran me $225 and as for the matrix dots the guy i went too said he used some kind of solution on top of the matrix dots so that they would stick so no problems so far but then again its only been a day.
