Default Tinted!!! UPDATE WITH PICS!!!!!!!!!!

Alright guys, pics coming tomorrow when its light out!

i have a question though, i just went outside to ddrive somewhere and when i got in the car i noticed all these crystals that have formed on the tinted windows..

is that from the fluid they used when they tinted? is it going to go away?

its freezing outside right now, damn cold arctic air came in..[:@]

could be the weather, freezing cold isnt best for healing conditions with tints. add a few days to the required window lock time, they should "heal" within a week or so.

Niiiice!! I can't wait to get mine done.

We need Pictures!

Hmm, if anything i'm gonna hold out til it warms up a little just to be on the safe side and not have to worry about the cold affecting the tints.

OKAYYYYY here are the pics.. first off the outside and how the 35% looks! (AMAZING![sm=loveeyes.gif]) and a big i love you to my gf for making this possible.







NOW here comes the crappy part. the freezing cold that came from canada lol destroyed the tint.

the back window is/was like that everywehre, you cant see it.

and the sides are full of tiny bubbles which you also cant see.

i thinkk those bubbles are part of the curing process. I takes a few weeks for them to go away. I'm getting mine tinted tomorrow, 35%, I'm guessing it will do the same thing. Just don't roll down your windows for a few weeks.

p.s. - how cold is it there?

I had wanted to get mine done and the tinting place my husband checked out recommened that we wait until there are quite a few days in a row of 50 degrees or better. For Ohio, that's like July.

Looks good. I hope the bubbles go away for you!
