Bad Tint Job?
Okayy so I just got my acura tl tinted and i see a lot of little/medium sized bubbles which are only noticeable from the outside. But I have heard that these bubbles are common during the first few days after the tint, soo here are some pics.
Bad tint job? Or is this common?
Also, notice the corner of the window in the last pic... it worries me

Those bubbles look kind of big, but I would still give it about a week to see if they dry up and go away. I had some bubbles, too, but they weren't quite that big.
If you had the work performed at a reputable tinter (not a 99 dollar tint place), and the bubbles don't go away in a week, they shouldn't have a problem retinting and fixing it.

lol, this is going to be the longest week of my life. Hopefully they go away by then. If not, the guy told me to just bring it back and he'll re-tint for free, but assured me i wouldnt have too.

Depends on the tint you put on. I put on what is called "Infinity" tint an it had similar bubbles which, now after about a week and a half, most if not all have cleared up. Just waiting for the front windshield tint now to cure all the way so it isn't so wavy.
General rule here is to wait at least a week and leave the car in the sun if possible. My tint professional warned me that I needed to wait at least 2 weeks and not wash the interior windows for at least 45 days because of the type of tint I chose.
If those bubbles don't clear on their own and if the shop is reputable they should repair it free of charge.
