Is it common for the tint NOT to cover the center brake light area? Do some tint installers remove the center brake light assembly in order to get the back glass 100% covered? I know it will reduce the appeared brightness of the center brake light when viewed from the rear, but just wondering if there's a "normal" or "standard" way the rear window is tinted, or is it about 50/50 on how many shops tint 100% vs tint around the center brake light?

Not sure if I like the "tint around" the brake light assembly look. It makes the tint appear more of an added-on item vs. stock look.

Well since i work at the shop where it was installed, my co worker asked me if i wanted the tint to cover the brake or not, I opted to have it cut out. It makes it a lil easier because the tinter do not have to remove the brake light cover. Not really sure about how often this practice is used in other shops. I also didnt want the brightness to be diminished by the tint.
