Just go back from the tint shop. Couple question...The little window (not the movable part of the rear window, sedan) in the rear, should I be able to see where the tint ends? Also on the front side windows should I see where the tint ends in the rear lower corner? Since I just got home from gettin the car tinted I thought I'd inspect it and I can def see an edge around the little rear side window, almost like the rubber or whatever was in the way and up front its like the tint is curved instead of going all the way down to the window corner. Sound normal or should I take it back and get a refund and take it to another shop?

EDIT: Yea the tint def just goes to the weather strip on the bottom of the window...is that **** normal??? Now I'm really starting to think i got ripped.

C'mon guys any help? Just got to roll the windows down today and the tint doesn't even go to the top edge of the window. Is this normal??? I'm just really picky about the car and want to make sure I didn't get screwed.

yeah that sounds like the tinters got lazy. on the other hand i dont think the tint goes to the "top edge" it stops i'd say a millimeter or two before the edge of the top of the actual window. and obviously should be straight. post some pics and might be easier to identify.

Yeah I think they got lazy minus the top edge. That's always left a little short.

Yeah this is my third ticket in two different cars combined. Two of those times the cops flipped a bitch just to give me the ticket. Glad they go so far out of their way to take of us window tint criminals. Now if only they were only that motivated to scan the ghettos and get the murderers and thiefs off the streets.

I have 20% on my sides and back 3 are 35%. I got them done back at home in Chicago when I first bought it. Once I get it back from the shop, Im going to pop out the rear deck again so avoid leaving the back light clear. Looks ghey!! Once that is done, Limo all the way around.

I want to get the windshield done but its pretty risky. I would get an eyebrow but Im really not a fan. Kinda looks like a half *** job in my opinion.

Ill post once I get it done.

Re: post pics of your window tint

2010 LX-S

35% on front doors and triangles

20% on back and rear doors

LX-S has Black suede seats and interior trim is black and charcoal making for a darker appearance, exterior white helps also.
