New tint pics

Sorry she's dirty- it's been raining. I'll post better pics once i get the red/white tails done and wash it.
The guy that i took it to does awesome work. It was $200, but well spent. There are no cutoff lines above the dots, he went over them. Looks factory (if cars came tinted factory) My friend and I spent 4 hours wed. night stripping the old stuff. What a pain in the ***- but I saved $75

Anyway, on to the pics
It's 15% in the back and 20% on the sides.

From the front- windshield almost looks tinted also

Here is a pic with mom's 99 maxima SE in the garage- it's got a few goodies also

Not your ordinary grocery getter

Thanks,
Zac

Looks nice dude, perfect choice of darkness. Let me ask you this, why did it take you 4 hours to strip off the old tint? I stripped off my old tint with a steam gun, some windex, and a razor blade and I had it off in under an hour. Just wondering...

How'd you manage to get the tint off the black glass without destroying the rear defroster?

BTW, car looks nice

the old tint had been on for years- and it was quality film with LOTS of glue. Had to be extra careful as not to cut the defrost lines on the back window. I used a razor blade to go in between them, and really fine steel wool to go over them. The window was constantly being sprayed with a mixture of water/dishwashing liquid while i was doing all of this. It probly wouldn't have taken me as long but I was a perfectionist.
