Every f-body that has tint on the back is going to have this problem. The guy who did mine came up with a way to minimize it a lot, but its still there. He had some stuff he rubbed over that whole area of bumps, it almost looked like chapstick, that disappeared after a few days, but that got the tint to stick in between the bumps much better than normal. It looks 10 times as good as on the other f-bodys I've seen with it.

35% sides, 15% back.. though you can't see it. Michigan tint laws are stupid, although rear can be as dark as you want. 5% seemed too dark.

(had the pic on my fquick, sorry for the tag in corner)

Have you had any problems with cops with the 35% in Michigan? I only have my back done right now, but I want my sides done. I can't really afford a ticket though...
