I just made an appointment for tomorrow morning. Did you go with 30 in the front, 25 quarter, and 30 rear? What color did you go with. I saw one the other day and it looked awesome. It wasn't super dark, but it had a bit of an outside glare to it. By the way, your car is exactly like mine...

John, looks awesome. what made you go with 25 in th middle and not 30 all the way around. Have basically the same car coming at end of month, but no shaker 1000(didn't think I could fit my golf clubs). What kinda difference do you think the FRPP and the X-pipe make? Thinking of doing that as well. Once again your car looks SWEET . I already have a gift cert for my tinting, looks great on white. Troy

I highly reccomend this product. I had to have my tint redone because of all the scratches that developed.

Looks great. IMO tinting should be one of the first mods anyone does. Heck I got mine done the day after I bought the car.

I've never really had a problem with scratched film. If you keep it clean and wipe the felts with the windows down you shouldn't have any issues.

The new Stangs don't have felt on the cabin side(just rubber) and many have complained of scratching. Personally, I haven't had any problems with mine. I agree, kept it clean and you should be OK, but most will say some type a moleskin, felt, or velcro it's a must

That tint looks good on your car The laws on tinting must liberal in Pennsylvania?.......I don't think theres anyway I can go that dark in Illinois!.......How dark did you tint your rear window or did you?

Thanks. I was going to go with 20% in the back and 35% up front, but then decided to go with 20% all the way around.

It was really easy to do, no more squeaks and rattles in the door than there already was. My tint developed scratches within about a week of being applied. I put this in and the tint place re-tinted it for free. Another thing... Taco's instructions and the instructions that came with it say you only need to remove those screws down the side of the door pannel... But IM here to tell you it will be a lot less of a pain in the a$$ if you take the ones out across the bottom too. It makes it a lot easier too pull out and over to get at that wiper.

Wohoo, finally got my windows tinted. I went in with the idea of going legal 30% in front and 15% quarter and back. I came out with 15% all the way around and it looks bada$$. It was actually the tinter dude that talked me into the 15% since it looks great against the white and matches the black stripe down the side. Even at night I can see pretty good out of all windows. Will post pics when the weather clears up.
