thats what I bought and then had someone install it on the Side. I helped with it the back was the only "hard" part but if you have ever put on stickers you can do a good tint job.

I know his work has been hit or miss, but he uses cheap ass film now obviously. Aside from that, he was a lazy ass when he did my tint, and my girlfriends tint. Hers has HUGE bubbles in the rear film, and I got some of the major ones out myself, but it didn't look like he even bothered. Lots of bubbles, and the matrix strips look like asshole.
I was considering paying someone to remove it from my rear glass and me peeling it off of the fronts and rear quarters myself. It would look better with no tint than some half ass purple tint.

I ended up going back to Tim and again he did a decent job. Not great, Not awful, like Zero said you get what you pay for...great price, avg to slightly above work.

Dude, he just did a shitty job... that's all. I got what I paid for.

you didnt by chance clean the windows with windex did you? ammonia is the major factor in turning tint purple.

The tint was bubbled immediately when we picked our cars up. The bubbling was an immediate issue. The tint turning purple took about a year before it became an issue with me on my car, and my girlfriends was a little sooner.
We both generally park our cars in the shade when it's available, and it's readily available at both locations where the cars reside the most.

Re: Who still does tint?
Well after giving it a few weeks I’m not overwhelmed by the results form the place in Martinsville... I have bubbles in the lover front section of the window and you can hear it crinkle when you roll down the window on the driver’s side. There is a bubble or crinkle in the tint in the center of the driver’s side window as well it’s small but you can see it. Passengers side is good except for the lower front sections has some small bubbles like the drivers side though you don’t here the crackle when rolling down the window.
I have not had a chance to really check out the rear sides yet. The back at a glance looks good but I have not had a chance to check it fully...
It comes with a lifetime warranty so I'll be heading back to get the driver side redone at some point...
