Yea that is completely normal, it doesnt always happen but its no problem if it does. What is done to apply tint is that they apply a film of slightly soapy water to the window so that the tint can be slid around into place then they use a squegie (no idea if thats spelled right) to get as much out as possible but of course some stays.... that is why it must dry and cure for a few days. If you have the patience its actually not that hard to do tinting yourself just remember to use distilled water and just a drop of dishsoap mixed in a spray bottle and of couse get the windows spotless of dirt first...

Tint all around would run 150-225. I got mine for 225 minus the windshield. You get what you pay for.

5% tint looks really nice, especially in the day, and it's impossible to see through. However, at night...WOW! you cant see anything. I was gonna get 5 all around so I had the side windows done and at night it was like someone had painted my windows black! had to get that off.

but it did look really cool during the day, maybe i should get it and not drive at night? lol

there's no rules for inspection.
There actually is. I didnt pass my inspection last week because of the tint strip on the top of my front windshield, but I talked the guy into letting me pass. As long as the front windshield strip is 4" or less then you will pass inspection.

never had any cloudiness or bubbles, but it is recommended you not roll your windows down for at least 24 hours. I didn't for 2 days just to be safe... If you get bubbles, you installer sucks at his job(in which case you should make him fix it).

yeah i never had any problems like that either but im sure the guy knows what hes talking about. i had mine done in the winter and the guy said it'll take longer cuz of the cold to be finall so i waited a week as the guy prefered. my dad had his done in the summer time and he only had to wait like 3-4 days.
