Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't your tint guy cut right up to the edge of the dimpling, so it isn't actually covering that darker edge or did he actually cover that area as well?

You're allowed to tint your front windshield? or are you just hoping you don't get pulled over?

Pretty sure he's talking about the front windows and the sides are the rear quarter windows. 20% tint on the windshield and you might as well be wearing a welding mask while driving.

CNK is correct. Sorry about the confusion. My windshield is NOT tinted. When I said 20% front, I meant 20% front sides. I'll fix my original post.

Any chance you could take a pic of your car in the daylight and at different angles? Trying to decide if I want to get this tint in 30% all around when I have Lee do my clearbra.

Will try to get some tomorrow as I'm not home today. Lee does great work. I had Xpel Ultimate put on the entire hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors, headlights, fog lights, door cups, and rear bumper applique. Spent 10 hours getting everything done and it was well worth it.

I don't know. First time I've had tint on a car. Guess I'll find out.
