How do your tints (anyone) hold up to the rollers from the rear sunshade? Do darker tints show damage there earlier than lighter?

If I got anything at all I would go with kit and tints.

If there was a kit for 09 I'd get it. The car looks so much more agressive with it...

I don't think they make A-Spec body kit for the 09.... than again I could be wrong...... gosh, you guys up north really paid an arm and a leg for the tint..... that kinda price tag is 4-5X more than down here..... imagine this, the price u paid can do 4-5 cars down here and down here, they still make profit.... I guess those tint shop are making a killing up there

I did 20% rear and 35% sides.. The 20 on the rear kinda helps the sides look darker... But sometimes I think about just stripping it off and doing 20 all around like Psheu... However, I don't wanna seem TOTALLY shady (get it ha..ha) when cruising around cuz most of the time I'm lighting up a blunt or smoking one while driving in luxury...

Oh, yes they do. Roll up your sunshade, park the car and go take a look. You'll see the wheel resting against the glass at the top of the window.

I bring this up, because if that wheel causes wear on the tint, it would sure show a lot more on darker tint to have a white spot, eh? It looks like pretty soft rubber.

I think the tint are pretty tough (scratch resistant tint film)..... if it bubble up or faded, that's where the life time warrenty kick in for replacement
