Finally got my window tint

I talked to him for a little bit and we both decided to go with 20% all around.

I don’t know if most people that tint windows do this but he actually remove all 4 of my door panels, I asked him why and he told me that he do it so he could get most of the window.

I’m really happy with the job, and he was inexpensive on $180.00 for any %.

He asked me if I wanted to cut the 3rd light in the back window but I told him not to… I was happy that he did asked cause I forgot all about that.

Here’s my baby waiting for service.


He was successfully with tinting the little back window all the way



It’s actually not that dark at all from the inside.


Here's the before......


Here's the after........

I think 180 is just right, I paid around that on 2 of my other cars.

I think i'm about to pull the trigger on tinting my 05 SSM, unfortunately i'm in Michigan..can't have tint on front windows so i think instead of darker on back and lighter on front i'll go 35% all around.

Your install looks clean, and i'd fork over 180 any day rather than trying it myself.

Looks very clean. I'm planning to get 20% all around also. I'm hoping my shop is that good and will do the mole skin.

My neighbor just gave me these guys address. He said he had no complaints about the finish product. I was over there yesterday (thursday) and they were forcing gray on me. I am trying to do a color other than gray, it seems they do mostly gray.
