Are those groupings from a moving boat? Or from 200+ yards?



Looks like a fun day. You have a proper flag pole out front, too.

Default Tint and my c5
Tint on my new to me z06 wasn’t great. Purple back window nicks and bubbles on the side windows. Figured sunny day in phx and I have time. Started removing tint. Only to find TWO sets of tint has been applied. So took longer but almost done. Tint or not to tint is the question. I like the green house effect. Maybe a clear ceramic this time. But I ask why tint over tint. That’s horrible
