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.  |

Now I have to spend the money to get them redone  |
