Default Window Tint Install Issues?

I have a question for ISF owners with tinted windows...

Do you have any visible tint lines where the film ends when looking at the windows from the outside looking into the car?

The very small rear windows with the aggressive curve look particularly troublesome.

It seems the ISF has wider frames surrounding the window which could make a flawless tint job difficult.

I'm curious what level of standard I should hold my tinter to when I get my car tinted.

the tinter should not use multiple sheets to tint a window (except for possibly the rear window but i think you can still do that in 1). they will typically use more than needed to tint then trim off the excess leaving about 3/8" from the top of the window you'll never see this though as it will be up in the window molding when rolled up.

bubbles are not uncommon but typically they will disappear within a week.
