Default C5 Back Window Tint ....

Since the weather warmed up and people are getting their windows tinted, I thought I'd share some experience regarding the back window, dot matrix, to be more specific.

You don't have to live with the "border of bubbles", or vinyl, or painted window. It is possible to have a window done right without "mickey mousing" the job. Here's proof. I hope this is helpful to some of you in getting a quality job done.

Dave Q.

EDIT::: Forgot to mention this tint is 2 years old now.

Thanks Lori and Mike.

They used Johnson film on mine (Semi metallic, silhouette). It's similar to Titanium grade produced my other manufacturers. They're considered high performance films. Hope this helps
