Looks good bro! Tint just does so much for the appearance of any car. Ever notice that most dealer brochures show the cars with tinted windows?

Tint looks good for a couple of years but then it starts bubbling and looks like crap. It is almost impossible to get off back windows without ruining the defroster wires. I would never put tint on my windows...........and I will never buy a car that has aftermarket tinted windows. Been there, done that, and it was always problematic and a mistake!

I've had the windows on my vette tinted for 2 years now and haven't had a problem yet. I previously had a Silverado that had the windows tinted for 5 years with no problems at all.

Where most of the bubbles come from is from people leaving their rear window defroster on for too long and it causes heat to build up between the wires and tint. If you will turn the defroster off when you can see clearly through the rear window (there may still be some "frost" lines but the majority is clear) your tint will last you as long as the window does. Also, a good, high quality tint helps along with a reputable installer.

I have had my windows tinted on everyone of my cars since 1986 and have never had bubbles using this method. Yes, all of them had rear window defrosters and I used the defrosters everytime I need to.

You can have tint last forever if cared for properly
I have several cars done with lifetime tint warranties. My old trucks tint was 10 years old and looked perfect.


BTW your car looks great with the tint on it

Especially working at a dealership where you have a regular tint person coming in every week I'm sure :smilielol5:
