Computer-cut tint

Finally getting nice out so I gotta get my windows tinted....

With the frameless windows, is computer-cut tint a good option? I read somewhere that it'll leave a much bigger gap when compared to a pro who does it by hand. But if you ask the computer-cut tint shop, they tell you it's a more exact fit because it's cut precisely by a computer.

So which is it??

all depends on the installer. i got mine hand cut and its pretty much all the way up to the top of the glass, with a little slit of glass that isnt tinted. if you have a good installer, computer-cut is going to give you a perfect edge, but make sure the tinter is good enough to line it up right to the edge.

Computer cut tints are programmed knowing that it is a frameless window so its all about the tint shop
