Have any of you problems with tint containing metal? I think of radio reception, for example.

How long does it take for bubbles to go away? I got my tint done on Monday night and I still have bubbles today. Car has been in the sun every day while I'm at work.

I got Sungard Black Pearl NR, 35% front/rear and 20% back, and I like it!

BUT, like you guys ^^^^ I have some small bubbles across all windows and I was also told to wait a couple days...

I'm just annoyed that the demo tint percentages contraption they show at the dealer isn't really accurate, since the already present factory tint isn't taken into account. I don't want to order something darker than what I request

I won't go darker than 30-35% on my nebula grey. Haven't quite decided exactly yet.

Since I am registered in California, this is what I ordered:

FRONT/PASSENGER 55%
BACK ROW AND REAR 35%
SUNROOF 15%

I will post pics when the car is ready to be picked up!

I would have done 35% all around. 55% is VERY light.

I do 35% all around on my cars here in California. It is a nice clean look and I've never been stopped. Knock on wood...
