hey guys, i just got my car back from my tinter, and he said he had to use 38% tint, instead of the 35%...he said the 35% made it too dark, and showed up as 26% on his tint meter...with the 38%, the meter read 34%...
weird huh??? the s2k windows have a bluish hue to them, but i never figured it would affect the tint that much...anyway, i'm happy with the result...i take all my cars to this guy, he did 7 or 8 or my previous cars...
just wondering if this happened to anyone else...

We are untinted right now. rstark had used a static cling tint for the plastic rear window for those who have a 2000 or 2001.
-but i pulled it off in front of the cop, and he let me go with a warning

i'll get some pix after i wash the car (hopefully later today)...
honestly, i dont know how people here cannot have tint on their cars...it helps out A LOT keeping the car cool, and cutting down on glare...
anywayz, i'll probably have some pics later today...
