Window Tinting
I have finally decided to tint my car, but I am a little concerned about the issue of the back window. I would love to have one-piece install in the rear window. Does anyone know of a good window tinting company in the Tampa/Brandon area?

Another thing I found out is it is hard to get the tint material to lay flat at the top of the rear window of the coupe. The window is full of little dots. My tint looks like crap up in that area. Installer warned me that he couldn't do anything about it.

Try using black vinyl on the dot matrix areas.

Please let me know how you make out with this. I'm in Tampa and want to get mine done asap. A lot of heat comes in through the side windows! Thanks.
