Looks good!

I am planning on tinting mine in spring time too...

Front windows look lighted than rear, about F-30 and R-20?

I like it! How did they handle the rear windshield in way of the brake light?

i think they removed the break light to be able to get the tint back there because it is on the entire back window

Thats how it should be done IMHO, I think it looks terrible when the tint is notched around the brake light.

I agree. Unfortunately, VA state inspection does not allow tint in front of brake light It's the difference of looking good versus looking great. Oh well.

^its the same way in New York but I took a chance and had them tint the entire thing on every car I've had and haven't had an issue. The car looks great, love this color
