Looking for tint.
Wherever you get your tint done, I suggest making sure it's 3M tint, although I have Lexan (or is it Lumar?) on my G... both are great quality, but 3M seems to be a bit darker and better quality...
And if you find a place that trims the tint on the top of the side windows at an angle, good. Because this helps the window row up smoother without having to worry about the tint rolling up there in the future...
And for reference, for the new tint materials, small bubbles aren't that big of a deal. But air pockets are. There is a difference. If you have to worry about it with the tint, I suggest finding another shop because that place isn't using very good tint. But the better installers do install tint without any bubbles at all.

I got my tint dont at LA tint and the film itself is awesome, I just hate they didnt take their time and press the button to keep the window up to get the entire edge of it, but I am sure most shops fail to do this. *shrugs*

I need to take my car back there again to get a darker shade.
Got mine at United Solar too, in Laurel, MD. It was only $140 for 20% tint all on sides and rear. UST tinted the rear top also. The dots left some bulble in some spot. Not visible from inside and only visible if you put your face next to it from the outside. For $140, you can't go wrong with UST if you're in the area.

i'm fine with 35% .. i'd rather not get a ticket ...we have had people from our club get pulled over because of having really dark tint.... and VA Cops are bitches .. they will pull u over for any reason they get.
