i got my tint today, its 35% all the way around, i considered doing 20 in the back, but i dont know, i didnt.

i'll have pics. up later, it looks nice.

i guess its going to take awhile for all the water to evaporate though?
Don't roll down yuor windows for a week, I taped plastic cards over them.

Also keep your car in the sun as much as possible. Don't touch them.

After you need top wash them with nonamonia window cleaner such as a Vinegar based product.

Who did the tint?

I heard of them. Lumar the one with ceramic that doesn't interfere with radio/XM?
GMP did mine and I ahve been happy with is, have had it for 2 years.
What I did for the forst week, actually I did 10 days, I parked on the 10th top floor of my deck so the car was in the sun all day. I also taped Starbucks/Caribou or other gift card other all the window buttons on the four doors because we don't realize but rolling down windows is kind of automatic for us, we don't even realize it, so to avoid the temptations like when getting in my parking deck to badge in or for my kids,I taped thsoe hard platic cards over the buttons for 10 days.
As for the rear window, it is a tough one and some guys have to goback a second time BUT it'll look a little crappy for a few days, give it 5-7 days in the sun and all the bubbles will go away. The edges might stay bad where all those little dots are around the the edges of the window defroster. You might have to cut right before them, but mine are fine, not perfect but way acceptable.

Hey where do you live? Post a pic of yuor car in acse I spot you around CLT...

Here are a couple of bad pic.s of my new tint. it's 35% all the way around. the black interior makes it look darker then it really is, when it's sunny out i'll update with more pic.s






Feel free to post other pictures of tint that may be able to help out other people looking for advice on what kind of tint or shade to get.

i know in nc your not allowed to do the windshield, only a five inch part above it. if you do it will make the whole car look darker though.
