Sorry for the delay. I'm still pretty damn happy about the way it turned out, but it's not finished yet. In the meantime, here's a couple more pictures...

do you have his number? I might look into getting it done from him.. I'm looking to do maybe 20% on my Arctic, my friend was going to do it for me for $150. but I dono what kind of tint he uses and I'm pretty sure its not ceramic ( I have CA ).

OK, Update. The Tint looks great from a distance, but I have some new issue with it... I dunno how to describe it, it's a weird fractal pattern that seems to have gotten worse. I'm certain Jim will take care of it, but I've just been slammed and have yet.... To make it back.
Mostly I am still amazed with the ceramic tints ability to keep the heat out. Impressive stuff. I'll post again when I get it fixed. Will be doing the same tint again regardless of the weird problem I am having with it. It looks awesome and unique so... Yeah.

Any chance you could post a pic of the dreaded "dot matrix" area?

LOL. We're all lazy - we're waiting for you to tell us that Jim's tint work is "sick"
The prospect of white dots or a vinyl strip is all too depressing.... |

With 20% in my 335i and 15% in my Audi A4 I have no problem with night driving. Both cars were done at Jim's place. I guess I have the same minor quality issues as Revlis.

As I am glacial with my "getting Round to its" I still haven't gotten it fixed. I am willing to bet that I got a bad bit of Tint. BUT as you've waited so patiently, I will post up some pics of how it looks now. Both Blown out to show detail and as it appears in life.

So yeah, There it is. I still haven't gotten it fixed cause as I mentioned I am a lazy lazy man.
I am also very very busy, which leads to a lot of conflict. I gotta call and make an Appt. though, I cannot let it drag on.

BTW, besides the tint itself, your dot matrix looks just fine from that one picture. Revlis, also make sure that your rear defroster doesn't get all messed up if they have remove the tint from the window. Removing tint sometimes kills the system.

Monday, I Should mention... On Monday @ 1100.
Anyone want to meet at I love Sushi on lake Bellevue there for Lunch Monday??? I hate eating alone... Oh and yeah the Defroster is a concern, but I am confident right now that it'll get handled properly and without drama. I am sure this is just a fluke.

But I dunno what you stand to gain from posting here asking unless you were going to make the drive up? Regardless, I am pretty certain that the problem is with the tint this time, I think I got a defective product, but the install was flawless. So yeah I heartily recommend him. BUT We'll see how it gets resolved, when things go sideways you will really get a sense of how someone conducts themselves business wise.

Whats weird is it's not even tint pulling away from the glass. It's something in the material itself... Very Strange.

So anyway, Monday I should have some better answers and everything I will be all squared away. I kept hoping that the weird patterns were some element of the final phase of curing, that it would go away. Instead it's continued to develop a lovely psychedelic pattern. It Kinda looks like Flames really... Go Figure.
