Default S6R avant all tinted up!!!

Just got my car back from tint shop, 16% solarguard all around except front windshield.

The shop did a great job around the dot matrix which, from what ive read has been a big issue... I am however not as content with how close the tint gets to the edge, at some points the tint can be up to a 1/4 inch away... and also to me the corners of the tint look sloppy, personally I think it could be much closer to the edge.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK, is this normally how close the tint gets, or is this a hack job? (I paid $250)

Default Thats a good price...

7 huge windows for only 250, i paid 275 with my sedan, 2 windows much smaller. Mine were also the same distance from the edge, no problems, very good job. Frisbies in Nj did mine.

Default you paid only 250 for an s6...and you want to be critical........the tint can't be to much higher or

when you roll up your window it would start to peel.....looks good for a 250 job....8^)

Default the tint could be a little closer to the edges, but the car itself looks great

no worries
