Next is darker tint
you have more "guts" than I did! took mine to a specialist, took 2 hours for the top and halo(3m-1080-glossy).....$175 otd! I probably would have spent at least that much for the wrap(would have ordered twice the amount of wrap needed to allow for FU's, and can't imagine doing any way near as good. You did good!

$175 is what it should cost for both.....3m-1080-glossy!
