Looks great...glad Dave could hook ya up...actually calling him tommorow about one of our employees getting her car done.

As for the dots in the back...just keep hittin them over the next few weeks with a squeegee..those few spots will lay down...mine stayed damp under there for quite awhile.

Looks great... and the AC won't have to work nearly as hard now, either.

Looks great. If you find the right place to do it even the back glass can come out great.

Who did the tint? Are they on the East Coast or out Tampa way?

Grond is in need of 5% Limo black

Hey EG. I used Dave Schafley at Bay Area Auto Works in Clearwater - 727.724.3333. Pewter99 (Robert Briggs) turned me on to him. He's been in business for 19 years. Chris was interested in tinting his vette as well.... Sounds like a road trip in the making Let me know if you guy's make it over this way.
