    How do they do that?

    My OE tint is in the glass, not a film.

    Bill Bill Bill, you're missing the point. Look at how good my tint looks!!

    Separate note you are correct. I just learned that today as I am new to the world of glass opacity modification.

    Yea yea. Yours looks great. I'm not a big black wheel fan, but yours works nicely too.

    I was asking @Drtgrl .

    'Cause while I don't think it happened that way, I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt and hear new info.

    108 out the door. 50 and tax each. Awesome work, great shop. They offer a lifetime warranty on workmanship/peeling/discoloration but they don't put on the paperwork if you want that darkness level. But they said bring your receipt if you're not happy and they'll make it right! 10/10

    Glad you guys are finding good shops to install tint. I personally find it a very simple job. Money saved on labor could buy more mods. Just a thought. If you youtube window tinting you'll see just how simple it really is to do a great job.

    Not legal cause I'm hood like that. 25%. I asked for whatever was closest to matching. Because the factory tint is in the glass and a tint isn't it'll never be 100% match but they know what they're doing. It's so close. 100% satisfied.
