Looks good. Is the single tip exhaust meant to impersonate a V-6 car?

Yes Chris, do share what % you used on the sides and rear glass!

I need to get mine done badly, I'm worried about spending the money and having to take it off though...cops suck.

what are you guys complaining about..here in IL we can't have ANY tint beyond that little nothing from teh factory on most cars or you get written up.

you can do whatever you want with windows in the rear, just nothing on the drivers/passengers/windshield.

its why on my WRX I have limo in the back window and rear doors but only 50 percent in the front to try and avoid any tickets.
camaro has no tint still, but i want limo all the way around since its not daily driven obviusly.

Thanks guys,

Those pics were taken the same day and I dont think it has dried fully yet. I'll have another look tonight.

I'll try and get more pics up but it probably wont be till the weekend.

Not sure what flat black it is that he's talking about, but the best way to avoid the dot matrix problem is to put a strip of black vinyl across the top (over the dots), then tint up to the vinyl strip. There's no decrease in visibility out the back window or anything, and any good tintman should already know to do it IMO.

The only other way to get around it is if you remove all the dots, which is NOT easy to do, and certainly not worth the trouble.
