If you tint your windows, make sure you have the window moldings removed, and replaced with moleskin. The stock ones are too abrasize (peel it back and look==sandpaper), and will eventually leave horizontal scratches all over your tint.

i don't know about my tinting... just selected the darkest color, but they gives me a lot of reflection during daylight. But at night, it is just black like a normal tinting. I think it's good because I don't bother other cars like mirror tinting. My tint is not mirror tinting.. it is black, but really don't know why it gives more and more reflection under the sunlights.

I really don't know about it. Cheap? hmm.. i don't know how much usually tinting cost... I did it one month ago. Only paid $240.00 with installation. Maybe cheap tinting~ but it's ok as long as they have lifetime warranty.

definitely not cheap tinting.....not the most expensive obviously.....

as a comparison, to have my CLK tinted 35% all the way around professionaly by one of the more respected and high-end places in charlotte, was $180 if i remember correctly...

Shiet.. $240 is a bit too much, I had a guy come to my house to tint my windows for $150.
