I agree. Also, what % tint did you get?

It looks great. I see you live in CA, so I hope the local PD or CHP don't have you remove the tints on the front windows. They're getting tougher up here in No. Calif.

Being in a drought, save your water and let your local car wash or detailer take care of Lexie

I would have but we just had the windows tinted on Saturday and I didn't want the car wash monkeys messing them up.

I haven't been happy with the car washes I've gotten at the local place lately. Folks just don't pay attention to detail anymore. I do my best to not waste water when I wash her though. I've gone way too long without washing her lately because the skies keep threatening rain and it always pours the day after I wash her. Maybe if I wash her more - we wont be in a drought?

I drive 14 miles to the only "re-cycled" water car wash I know of in Las Vegas. IT's a do-it-urself place. My ES350 came with window tint,but I had added tint to the sunroof. I don't like the roof open but do like it tilted up. This is the 2nd car I had the "front" windsheld tinted for UV rays. It's clear,but makes a big difference with heat transferring back into the car.
