Window Tinting

I just purchased an '04 Coupe and want to tint the windows. Is there any issues associated with tinting the back window as far as the tint adhering to the top part of the window where the "dot matix" is (don't know the technical for them)? Has anyone had any issues with that?

i had mine tinted and it has been fine. research your tint people...if you don't have somebody you use all the time. Get some references from people in your area to a good tinter.

I Had mine done that was the first mod I did. No issues, I would leave it to the professionals to do it to have it done right though.

If you get someone though that says it cant , then they are just BSing you and they know it. Or they will give many excuses as to why its bubbling around the matrix pattern........dont fall for it and tell them to refund your money or keep trying it till they get it done right!..good luck

Tint

I have had a lot of comments on mine because I didn't go too dark. I would tint the back one shade darker so the sides are not as dark looking. It might save you from getting a ticket. I have had POLICE pull up on me, take a look, and then let me go. Fill out your profile and you might get someone in your area who can recommend someone for you.

I know some tint guys that would tackle the project cause of the dot matrix, I would make sure that whom ever tints it for you has experience tinting on the dot matrix and ask for references!
