OK i talked to barney and he said he could remove the old tint and save the rear defrosters and add the new tint for 150.

Dude I would jump on that. For someone to come out to your place and do that work thats a deal. To do that rear on the car is the worse for a tinter... Unless they are really good. Mine was a soild piece. Most guys will go by section for the rear window.

Ive got 5% all the way around on mine and it isnt too bad at night. I jus roll down the windows and use the side mirrors. But you will notice how much cooler, as in temp. wise, it will be during the summer. Its still freakin hot out there but less than most.
3M film and SunTek are very similar films. Not to sure if they are made at the same factory, but ive heard they are sister companies.
