Looks awesome! I did 35% on the sides and 5% on the rear hatch a few months ago. Don't roll ytour windows down for at least a week.

No pics of this on your CarDomain yet I guess? I'd like to see it. I really want tints on my Z but I've only had two cars with tints- my old Bird with 20% all around that I trouble getting a sticker with, and my g/f's Cavalier with 35% all around that looked so stock it wasn't even worth it. I can't decide if 35 front/5 rear is a decent enough compromise. I'm tending to lean towards "if it doesn't match the sail panel you won't be happy and don't bother" but I'd like to see how that combo looks since it'd at least be a little darker in the back.

Did you have any trouble with bubbling on the top on the rear hatch, i want to tint my windows but the last time on camaro i had a huge bubble across the hatch were the defroster part is. Is there any way to make that go away?

I've heard that tint doesn't adhere well to that part. Some tinters I know of use a dark vinyl covering to match the tint job; looks great IMO.

I just got my tint done about 3 weeks ago and there is about a 3inch strip across the whole window were the tint didnt stick because of the defroster or wutever those bumbs are for. One of my friends owns a 93 formula and when he brought it in he had them remove the dots and his looks perfect

yes the rear window at the top dot matrix it doesnt stick good, but the tint shop told me to bring it back that they would figure something out, the rear window is one whole sheet all i pay was 110.00 i do paving so i cut him a deal on his parkking lot.

yes they're called partial mirror tints i had them on my mx-6 they alright attracts a lot of heat from cops, especially during the day so my advice stay away from it.

I agree, tint really pulls a car together! That's the first thing that gets done to all my cars. This is 20% all around.
