Got my tint done today 35% all around. Looks nice. Def better than with no tint.
I'm pretty happy with it so far. The service there was good. Will is a good guy. The cut and fit of the film is excellent. They do the whole rear window--including infront of the tail light. Cut right up to the dots so it is barely noticible. No gaps on either the drivers or passenger side windows. There were no air bubbles that I could see yet but I did notice one small bead of water/soap trapped behind the film in one place. I was able to smooth it out and we'll see what its like when it dries completely in a couple days.
The tint they use is eclipse brand, any of you guys heard of it. Hopefully it lasts, that was the only question mark in my mind. Otherwise, $90 for the tint job was quite a bargain, def worth the trip out there. Thanks a lot TNT Audio and Panda.
Edit Day +1:
The tint actually looks better today than yesterday. There was some blurryness out the rear windows that I thought would go away when the film dried and -- confirmed -- it did. It is crystal clear now. Also the bubble on the side window is also gone (mostly it is very very small now), i expect it will disappear over time and in any case it is not noticible. My verdict: three thumbs up. Great job guys!

Ok guys I got the tint today and liked the results and the Lemans even looks more sexier than before. The guys Will and Tae are really cool guys and the work they did is top notch. I will post pics later tonight of the way the tint looked. I decided on 35% all around since I don't want it too dark or too light. I want to thank Panda for the group buy and also his Z is looking bada$s. I will also have this shop do my stereo install when the time comes but for the mean time the tint rocks.
