Trimline did mine, 360 for high quality material 35, then 15 for the rest. (that included a windshield strip). That also includes tax. Turned out wonderful, no pics yet.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

when i bought my car, the windows were already tinted so i don't know how much they were tinted. the only problem i have with it is at night when street lights aren't present, i can't really see what's to the left of me when i make left hand turns. i never really understood why too dark tint was illegal. i thought it was just to help mr. police man profile you.

I would't want it in the front windows too dark because I like to be able to see the driver and have other drivers see me. May not do the fronts at all.

I dunno, California boy that I am, it just feels strange having dark tint on the fronts. Still deciding, but I'll probably go 15% behind fronts, 35% at fronts. That's not backwards, is it? Darker back, lghter front, but not by much. 1 increment.

I'm just going to take my wagon to Trimline and say "max legal tint with non-radar interfering film please." Make it nice and easy on myself.

Hopefully that will prevent other drivers on the road from being blinded by your forehead.

That's what I did. They did a pretty good job although they broke the clip that holds middle seatbelt when not in use. They tried to glue it which lasted about 20 minutes. They admitted the mistake and ordered the part. I had to go back to have them fix it, but at least they didn't totally fuck me over.

I had to get my car washed last Friday (had a date) and didn't have time to do it myself. Against my better judgment, I took it to Mission Car Wash and somehow they managed to rip 5 or 6 little holes in the tint on my driver side front window.

That's better than the huge crease they put in my fender.

I used the good old fence removal method to hide that one though.

Is there a place in town to get your car washed that doesn't suck? I went to Freeway Car Wash (or something like that) on W. McCaran but it was closed.

wait... you bought an EVO? Why'd you just go and buy that turbo for the rex from Scott then?

First owner? And if so I would think the only kind of 60 year to buy an evo would be an old dude looking to have a some fun and drive the hell out of the car? how's the clutch?

Nice. The WRX gets tint on the 26th, the GF gets her Outback done on the 22nd. We will be pimp. Great prices from Tom.
