Default New new tint

At the tint shop getting my car tinted again want to change the side windows to 5% and keep everything else, also having them redo the windshield because they messed it up the first time. Speaking to a employee and the owner the guy who tinted my car all those times and messed it up got fired.

On a side note I am watching crack heads right now and am in the hood waiting for my car to be tinted....what a life lol

Will post pics when done.

I finally got around to getting mine done a few days ago. The dark look is not for me so I went with 80% all around including the windshield.

Thats awesome man the dark tint is not for everyone, I have 50% on the windshield and it helps so much at night time especially when getting high beamed by oncoming traffic. If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the entire car to be done?

What are the strange horizontal and vertical dark black stripes for? Are they actually there? If so, why? Looks wierd to me.
