Thanks.



I wouldn't mind darker but we've got laws and annual inspections. 35 is the law, 32 will pass inspection. I don't need the hassle of finding someone who'll let me slide on 20%.

Hahaha! Not exactly the term I would use for dark tint (I currently have no tint so I am not biased either way), but pretty funny!

I think your tint level is very good. It looks just right to me. Same percentage all around, right?

Brett, yeah, 35's all around.

From the rear, I shoulda put the garage door down for the after. It probably looks darker looking toward the "black hole" of the garage. Regardless the difference is definetly noticable from both inside and out.



I don't think they make White tints .... guess you're SOL.

I like it! But it's a TLS, what's not to like? Just dark enough, esp. on your WDP.

Looks like you bought a set of the chrome inserts for the door handles. How do you like them? Do you snag your towels on them when you wash the car? Can you post a few pics close up?? Thanks!

Looks good Bearcat. They did a great job on the quarter window and it looks like they tinted over the dots on the rear window (something many don't do and it creates a "ring around the window" look ).

Did you have an appointment? How long did it take?

Oh yeah, now go cut your grass...and edge (I can talk...I did my yard yesterday ).

Something else...did they remove the quarter window as they had indicated they would? Were you able to get the moleskin on the rear windows?

Thanks. Can't do 20% and pass state inspection.

If it's what I think you're talking about, it's not chrome. Just some 1/8" black pinstipe.

Whole job looks great. Not a single blemish or bubble that I could find.

Made an appointment, but they still got started late. From what I saw/heard, call ahead if they've got space they'll let you know. All told (wait time included) I guess about 2 hours.

I was hoping no one would notice my yard was not as well cared for as my new car. Too F'n hot (thats my story and I'm sticking to it)

I didn't see the work, but Bruce wouldn't do the back moleskin gratis, so we didn't do 'em. He seemed pretty sure it wouldn't scratch. We'll see.

Bottom line: At this point (just installed), I'd go back and have no reason not to recommend them.
