Tinted my car!

I think they are 28% all around except front windshield. The package said 28 but no %. Anyhow, here's some pics.

That's a very nice level of tint. It just might be perfect.

Looks great!

I loved it after it was done too. The samples are helpful but when you put in on, it looks kind of different. I was scared to see what the final results are.
Front is kind of dark but I figured if I see a cop, then I will open my sunroof. It actually makes my front tint lighter. Its great!

nope, I went to Tint Zone all the way over in rowland heights. I read good stuff on how they can tint the 1/4 panel well and they did. Very happy about it. Uses J&J shampoo instead of other shampoo Great ppl to just chat with. Also got them to install my moleskin too.

I sure do! I did a lot of tint research b4 I got it done From 1/4 panel, break light, tint materials, and ofc moleskin . I actually have them install it with the tint. Soon I will need to practice cleaning the tint with one hand holding damp towel and other with dry towel.

Luis didmost of the part. David did my back and he cut out the 1/4 panels and installed them. Then he went out to get lunch. He might have done one or two back window but I don't remember.
I was watching the cars over at the hand wash place. I think they drove the car into a pole or something. He looked pissed and was kickin his cracked bumper while he talked to the guy from the place.

Very nice job. Looks stealthy, yet classy.

I'll be moving down to LA from the Bay Area and I'm looking for a good tint shop. Specifically, I'll be in Westwood. Any recommendations? How far is Rowland Heights from Westwood?

Rowland heights is about 30-40 miles I think. A lot of people said best tint shop down in torrance is good (I think that's the shop name). I'd recommand the shop I went to (Tint Zone).
