Default Question about side panel mirror

Hey guys... Just wondering al the guys who had there car tinted you know the side windows.. and whrn the sun hits it you can see the outline of the lighter window over the tint.. its very annoying does anyone know what im talking about? cause the window itself is tinted from the inside obviously but on the mustangs the glass has like a two shade appearance.. any way to fix this.. tint the OUTside of the window some way?

thanks
phil

Ummmm, you cant tint the outside windows well you can but it wont last very long. I think my tint looks fine, im not exactly sure what your talkin about tho, but ive never heard of anyone complaining about their window tint other than they wishd they got it darker...

Yeah I think hes talking about the rear side window where its painted around the edge making the window seem to different colors, right?
If so, like Jimmz said you're pretty much out of luck. But I wouldn't let that bother you, a lot of new cars are like that and it still looks better than no tint at all.

I thought so i got it when u said pizza wedge LOL, yeah but theres nothin you can do about it, the worst part is that it'll only get worse in time cuz of the sun that hits it, itll turn a greenish gray color unless you have the cheap tint then it will turn purple... Good tint brands that last and have lifetime warranty are (Madico, and Llumar etc.) I have madico which is considred the best, and I have had it on all my parents cars and mine and ive never had a problem
