wow 125 is a really good price .. did you take your back seat out for them?

I payed 200 for mine, lifetime warranty, and that was with me taking my back seat out for them to ease on the installation. 15% rear window, 35% all sides.

BTW looks great, and thank god you tinted over the 3rd brake light .. I hate when people cut around it.

I am thinking they did it over the 3rd brake light?

I wish I would have gone darker than 35% all around. Probably gonna go back and get 5% on the back, 20% on the back sides and leave the 35% on the side windows.

Before I let the guy do the work, I made sure that he knew that I wanted the rear brake light covered. He told me that he could do it no problem.
After he was done he told me that it was tough, and it gave him a hard time but he was able to get in there with a special tool he has and tint in between the window and light.

Yes 125 is a great price! Before I had it done at this place, some of other place told me they wanted $285 and that it would take all day!! I was like no thanks...

Thanks fof the kind words everyone!

Thanks for posting pics-
you just convinced me to get mine done too. 35% all around.

This is my mod list:
Tint
M5 Spoiler
Better tires
Install my Infinity speakers/Amp
CAI w/bypass
Aluminum brake/gas pedals

That's about it for now, got bills to pay.

Yeah, that's what keeps me from doing it. I worry that they will mess up or loose something up back there and create a rattle.

How long does it take to complete a job?

WILLDOGS looks like it came out really nice.

Did they go all the way up in the back and cover the dot matrix at the top? Looks like it from the pics. If they did indeed do this, how well did it come out at the top?

Also where did you get this done cuz my tint guys really didn't do a good job on mine at all and it kills me every time i look at it.

They did tint over the dot matrix up top and it came out really good IMO.

The guy warned me that as it dries, it will look whiter in between the dot matrix where the voids are, but I already knew that.

I got it done here in the bronx on webster avenue across the street from fordham university. I highly recommend them, very nice job.

Thank God I was the first one in, cause about 5 other cars came for tint after me.

After he was done, he told me to give it a few days for any tiny bubbles to dry up, and if they didn't that he would redo any tint where bubbles remained. That made me feel good.

The bubbles are actually alomst all gone today, its really hot and sunny out so it is all drying up nicely.

Yeah I do its like two years or something. Still they weren’t even able to do the top part or get the tint behind the 3rd brake light. (Without me having to remove the rear shelf)

The place I originally went to didn't charge all that much so I may just eat the cost.

As far as the look, it is very good. But it is not good to tint the front windshield actually.

looks great man...I agree w/ Marc S, shoulda gone with 5% eheh...that's what I did. Either way, it really compliments the silver CL's very nicely. The 03 exhuast is a nice touch as well!
