So I decided to go with 20% all around on my car. I like it alot! A few bubbles in the tint that I will go back for tho Not a big deal tho.

Heres the pics... not the best location in my back yard cause of the reflections of everything all over the place, sorry! Click thumbnails for full size pics

negative, but i watched the whole installation and he tucked the film about a 3/4 inch into all the weather trims with a wedge.

The only thing that kinda sucks is the rear window. It has those little orange (for lack of a better term) "bumpy things" on the inside of it at the top and its basically impossible to get the tint film to lay across it evenly. You can not see this unless you look for it.

All and all im happy, its still setting and drying tho. Ill let u know in a few days how its holding up if u want.

Nice!! 20% is perfect (imo), I went with 35% (with a neutral/tan color interior) and I regret it every day . Now I have to spend the money to get them redone
