Tints Done Yesterday....20%/15%.....

Location: Tropic Tint in Union, New Jersey
Final Price: $200 + tax
Tint: Llumar high quality charcoal tint. 20% all doors....15% rear sheet. Rear done in single sheet.

They did a beautiful job. took them about 3 1/2 hours and when i say they look at perfection each time, i'm being kind. shaped each sheet first out with a heater before placing it on the glass. they covered the dot matrix and so far after day 1, it's been sticking well. installer suggested i did rear as 15 because it would be looking lighter since someoen would look through towards the front windshield, a nontinted window and looking through the sides, they would look through towards the other side, a tinted area, giving it a darker look.
Pictures are below. i think it looks great, what do you guys think.

Nice.. I wanted GrayLustre, but none available. Seeing you car, I wish I waited. I got Sterling Mist. I'm tinting soon, probably going with platinum tint to go with the whole silver scheme.

thanx, that's actually why i went grey lustre. looking at this car, i expect to get a view from someone as a mature person. the luxury look is not possible with stickers and all that bull-ish. a mature color, some nice tints, and it gives the car a clean simple and mature look.

same here bro! i had to remove my 2 front windows at 20% and pay a fricken $10 fee... i would've actually preferred to pay the bail fee and keep my tints... *sigh* now my window tints look all messed up and uneven...

I might jsut be being stupid but that doesnt look like 20% to me but more like 35ish? My 20% seems much darker, but maybe thats just the light. Oh well . . .just a thought. It still looks great though. Congrats

Too light for my liking IMHO, I went with 5% all around.
