tint question
so i heard good things about skyline auto tinting from other member here.
went there and got my tint done for $150 with suntek films.
overall it looks pretty good. but my concern is about the matrix around the small windows in the rear.
it seems kinda uneven, and its not black. i hope you guys understand what im talking about.
in the rear window, the matrix is even, but its not black either.. clear.
is this normal?

As far as the tint shop, it's great place. The owner stands behind his work. I have had my three cars tinted there and no issues whatsoever.

i see! thanks alot.. gives me a piece of mind haha.
they seemed pretty ligit, lets hope the matrix looks better after a couple weeks
the only bad thing was i had a bubble... they fixed it.. but you could still see a blemish. its barrly noticable but still catches my eye cause its MY car.
he said he wouldnt do the tint over again for that window...

I would trust his judgement and see how it turns out. if he really stands behind his work and there is an issue after it has settled, then he will redo that window. he probably knows it will be fine though : )

think I skimmed too quick, theres a marking on the tint and he won't redo it? **** that. doesnt sound like he's standing behind his work to me.
doesn't matter how small the blemish is, like you said, it's your car, you'll notice it and it will bug you..
do something stupid to mess up the tint before it settles all the way on that window, force him to redo it.. hah
don't know why people frown upon VTR but I use them for my tint, as have a bunch of my local friends, they do excellent work there and really do stand behind it. they originated as a tint company, I think a lot of people just look down on them because they cater to their customers right out of ghetto ol' Everett, which includes a lot of ricers. folks around here are used to Seattle, Bellevue etc, where the cars are much nicer in general.

post a pic! i spoke to bunch of shops regarding that a year ago, none of them guaranteed me that it would stick to the dot matrix. It requires heating. However, no one wants to stick a heat gun close to your interior for too long.

Call Metropolitan Auto Detail and see if they can take care of the dot matrix with their tint.

no I would just talk to the shop owner and get it straight. any shop worth a damn wouldn't let a customer go away unsatisfied. seems like you didn't care enough to make much of a stink about it though, I don't know how badly it was done.
