Got tint

Decided to get the windows tinted today.

35% on the sides, 20% rear, just like I always get.

3M Crystaline.

Feeling cooler already...

3M Crystalline is not available any darker than 40

If that's 3M film on rear glass, its likely Color Stable.

FYI, all 3M tint should have 3M stamped on film in several places. Requires some vinegar based window cleaner to remove. Its kind of their way to authenticate to customers that they really got 3M film.

Yeah, I just did the five windows. If I was in Phx like you I'd tint the windshield too.

There are a few in this thread; I'll take some better shots and post them.

Right you are. It's color stable. I realized my mistake right after I posted this.
