    Ya, for window tint to settle correctly, sunlight is a plus. Not sunlight creeping through the 30f winter sky, but through good spring/summer skies. Think of the old Shrinky-Dinks.... it works much the same. It needs to be "baked" so to speak. Evaporation needs to take effect and it also helps the adhesive catalyst take effect.

    I would love to tint my windows again, but state and county police have already had me pull my tint twice. The second time, it was completely legal, but they didnt see it that way. I will NEVER tint my vehicles again. I have actually gotten used to sitting in a completely visible bubble, heh. If anything, I get less attention now without tint. A welcome change.

    yea i was/am pretty worried about getting pulled over for it.. i had the guy at the shop do 20% in the rear and he will be doing 35% or 50% on the doors sometime in the future, but i needed functioning windows this weekend so i had him hold off on the doors

    howard, the shop was actually in central MD, http://www.tnscustomizing.com/home.htm probably a little more of a drive than you want to save some money.. but fwiw it looks good, ive only seen one air bubble, which it sounds like will be going away with time, but if it doesnt, i got a lifetime warranty on the tint so i can always bring it back and have them fix it, he did it very quickly too, i actually sat in the VX and gave him a demo of my sound system while he did it

    if you look around your area for a shop that does tinting, i think you could get a good deal on it, he told me it was actually very easy, even the back window he managed to get all in one piece and theres so little window area he said material costs were zilch, ill keep my eyes peeled in the philly area for a good shop
