So, I pulled the trigger on a tint job today and so far, I am pleased. Not as dramatic as it could look but I wanted to keep it legal for here in Oregon. Had to go with the 50%, that when combined with the factory tint equals 35%.

After....



They said it would take some time to cure and get better around the dot matix area.

If you keep your car inside, leave the hatch open overnight to gravity can do its magic on the moisture that's stuck in the dot matrix.

I have gone to the same tinter for all 3 of my cars, never once had a problem with any of them. Looked brand new when I sold them. The FRC is 5% in back and 20% on sides. DARK! but cool. Cost $238 2 years ago, still looks like it was done yesterday.
