Default New Window Tint tomorrow

I will send Pics tomorrow after window tint installed for first time on my '12 ISF
I just got 6 weeks ago...

Going with 3 M Crystalline clear tint on front windshield

#20 Winsco on back doors and rear windshield

#30 Winsco on front doors

Too many choices for tinting, so I hope I will like these..

Cheers, Zale

That Crystalline is bada$$, just pricey! I like the 30-35 range tints myself (although my wife digs the 20, darker stuff on her IS). Currently have the 3M CS line on a bunch of our cars, going to have the cheap tint removed from my F and have either CS35 or Crystaline 40 or 50 installed. Hard to decide as the price difference is fairly substantial.

I have that 3M Crystalline tint on my car and have since the day after I purchased it. I went with 50% on the front side windows and 35% everywhere else (state legal). It has been durable and I've had no problems at all with the color changing or with it peeling. Yes, it was about twice as expensive as the cheaper tint I got for my truck, but I wanted the best for the ISF and feel that I got it.

Give me the contact when you have the opportunity. One of my former employees here in California received a promotion and is residing in San Antonio, looking for a tint guy (not an IS-F).
