Well, I'll see how it looks the next couple days. Aside from that, there is very minimal water bubbles. Probably, only 2-3 I could spot out. I mean this is only a $200 tint job =\

Hello everyone,
I can't seen to create a new thread with the issue I am having. But, this seems like the right thread to post under.
So, I recently got my car tinted with Suntek CXP 35% all around. When I was driving at night, I notice lots of glare/light reflections from the rear window when I'm looking that the rear view mirror. The headlights from car behind me looks very distorted.
Although I've only got my car tinted for about 2 days. Is this an issue that can be fixed? Is anyone having or had this issue with rear windshield tint?

Here you can see how visable it really is.
Need Advice for window tint..
I've finally made an appointment for tomorrow to get a tint job for my Ultra White 2016 IS350 with Black interior.
The thing is I live in CA, and I know its illegal for front window tints. However, I do want to get an "All -Around" look, as well as be effective in blocking the sun and keeping the car cool.
Since its a white car, I'm amusing the % of tint would look darker than it is... So, I'm debating of either 35% all around or 50% all around. Anyone have pics to compare the two?
I don't want to have it too dark, in which would attract the attention of the cops. =\
(Kind of leaning towards 50%...)

Overall it's a nice clean tint to get.
And as for the Cops, I've came across many side by side and many didn't even bother to look over, I've had it for about a year now. Here's mines for comparison, can take some up close as well if needed.

I would like to see 70% or the lightest possible tint you can go.
Anyone know if our side windows are inherently 99+ percent UV rejecting? And rear? I know front automotive glass is inherently UV rejecting due to being laminated.

I have 5% on all my windows with the strip on the front. I can see fine at night. Now it is dark but it's not hard to see other traffic during lane switches. And when you're in the city, the street lights add to your visibility. I'd say do 5% on the front instead of 20, you won't regret it

I recently had my tints done again, but this time I went with 35%. They are 3M Color Stable 35%. My old tints were 20% and they were too dark. Aside from being too dark, I was getting noticed by police because my front windshield is tinted as well. Overall, the car looked way too dark! The change was needed. What a difference! Can see better and it's all legal 
I actually like my car a lot more with the 35% than the 20%, but that's just my opinion. No offense to anyone with 20% (I have other vehicles with 20%). Since this is my daily driver to work and school, I wanted to keep it cool with the authorities! Will post more pictures once the tints heal! Thus, there aren't any close-up pictures!

Looking good Lexi90,
I have the same 2015 Nebula Gray Pearl and was curious how dark to go as I didnt want to go too dark because it would contrast too much with the car and make it look funny. looks like 35% is a good balance!
