Ah, nice sunny day in Boston, driving around with the new TINT!
and I have to say that I love it! Had a chance to do a quick detail (if there is such a thing) for today, and on my way doing a few errands, stopped to snap a pic of the tint in the sun!

I think that it ended up being the perfect tint for me, not too dark. However, my son was in the back seat, and I could not see if he was waving at me or not while I was snapping the pictures. Keep in mind the sun is shining into the car through the sunroof and the un-tinted windshield, and it still looked pretty good!
FYI - I never was so paranoid about wet pavement before today. I did not want to trash the car before I could snap a picture of it clean!
A day after the install, I noticed a few very tiny, mostly around the dot matrix area on the edge of the rear window. Brian at Tint King did mention that I should come back after a week, so they can touchup anything that needs it. Lifetime warranty on this stuff, so if I am not happy with any part of the install, the will do it again. Great place for tint if you are in the Boston Area!!!

Have you driven it at night yet, BD?
I'm finding some strange optical effects through the rear window. Headlights of the cars behind me are stretched vertically from the top of the rear window to the bottom. It seems as though there's something weird going on where the film crosses the defroster lines.

and time for a new sig, well, at least until...
I install the H-sports, the Hella smoked tails, swap out for the allroad door blades, and mount the summer wheels. Then, I will be ready for a new sig...again.

that's awesome... tint just moved up on my list of mod-wants.
i'm currently thinking about tint, smoked tails and side repeaters and a re-spray on the wheels to be about 1/2 way between carbon grey and the current silver... i never really cared for the smoked tails on the light cars, but i think that the uniform darkening might hold together well. always thinking. anyway - the tint is pURRfect. take care. r.

Thanks for your guidance on the 50%...
seeing it on your car made it an easier sell. I think on the lighter color car the tint has a bit more contrast. On a darker car, I can see how the tinti is not as dramatic, even if it is the same % tint.
