ok another question i guess, i was talking to the main guy and i asked him if he cuts around the brake light or takes it apart and does it right. hah.. he said he will but doesnt usually. it will cost me $20 more.

what are your opinions on cutting around the brake light with tint? i think it looks awkward

Leave sunstrip off! Looks cleaner.....as for the brake light, in order to do it right he has to remove the back seats out in order to get to your rear deck, then pop off the rear deck. Hope that helps!

518 is on a distinguished road
NO sun strip and have them take the back panel to tint over the portion of the brake light. I have a quantum tint and it doesnt interfere with the brake light that much.

i dont think the cops are an issue, in indiana 35 tint is the lowest legal tint.. and hes putting 20 on there only by cash.. hah.. so i think he does what he wants.


on a 02 you have to pull the seats all the way out?! thats dumb

You don't have to take out the seats to take the deck out, it just makes it a little easier. When i got my tint i just took the deck out for the guy so he could tint over the brake light
