No worries. I would have know your were just playing back.

When I first got the car I forgot about the camera bc it takes a second to turn on. Got used to looking out the windows and using the side mirrors like my mustang. Then one day I put it in reverse and didn't actually start backing up right away. I looked up and was like "oh my gosh that is so much easier!". True story.

Im on my second C7 now. Both tinted with 15% ceramic Llumar tint, no issues at all. Thinking about going back for 40-50 on the front soon.

Question about rear glass: does anyone have issues with tint not sticking well/uniform between all the little painted flag logos near the top? I’ve had issues with other vehicles that have a similar dot matrix at the top where the tint doesn’t look perfect in the painted/dotted area. Kinda hard to explain. Want to tint my C7 but am not going to if the tint doesn’t look perfect around the little flags.

Please post pics of this area if it’s not too much trouble.

Tint seems to lay down around the rear window flag matrix very well. No issues on my car.

Thanks! Anyone else care to chime in about tint adhesion around the little flags? Total non-issue?

It’s just a study in L.A. Chances are slim that it’ll actually happen.

20% tint on everything except windshield. Looks great. Can still see the Corvette flags on the rear window.

Using the side mirror you can get very close and be confident you aren't going to curb the rim. I'm pretty young with good eyesight and with 15% tint at night it can be hard to see and sometimes I will roll down the window also. Especially if it's raining or still has water droplets on the window and mirror.

Ceramic tint all around and no issues. The tint adheres better on my C7 rear glass than it did on the C6 dot matrix.
