Default Tinting..

i have a couple questions... tell me what you guys think of my ideas and tell me anything else you would like to add..

i bought my car tinted already i think 25% or 30?? not sure but i'll find out. anyways, lets says its 25%... i am thinkign about going and buying a roll of the 25% for $12.99 at some place nearby. i know someone who tinted his gt with it and it is def not cheap **** (even though it may seem like that)

to get to the point. do you guys think i should tint my taillights with this tint??

also, should i do like 2-3 inches of my top front windshield??

and the 3rd question - should i tint the very top part of my back window with this stuff?? i hate how my tint stops right at the bubbles on the top of the back window

any input PLEASEEE guys

Well the bubbles on the back window are teflon and the tint doesn't really stick there. That's why most of the rear window tintsstart after the bubbles. I got the car with the upper part of thefront windshield tinted and I liked it so I didn't remove it. I does seem to help especially in the late afternoon coming from work. As far as your taillights... it's up to you.

it was a local guy who use to work for doc. tint. and now he does his own stuff

and thedots on the rear winsheild do cause the tint to have a little trouble sticking, mine actuallt started peeling a little but he fixed it with some clear glue in the coners and its fine

Why do people have a problem with the bubbles. The guy that tinted mine just used steel wool and scraped some off and then tinted it and has yet to peel *knock on wood* and it's been on there close to a year.
