I need to get this done, been debating what % to go with on my RS. That looks really good Turbito...

Just got my RS tinted 3 hours ago with Llumar FormulaOne, 35% all around (well except windshield of course). Had is professionally done, $280 in Canada. Pics coming soon (waiting for it to cure).
So far everything looks pretty good, but I noticed that the tint hasn't adhered to the glass around the dot matrix on the rear glass, and hence it looks like a lighter strip around the entirety of the window. I was told to give it a few days to cure and all should be well. Anyone had any issues with the dot matrix on the Sonic? Hoping all turns for the best in a few days.

Just like you said, give it more time to cure. The bubbles will greatly reduce over time. If you have any dried bubbles/creases/cracks in a couple weeks and bought from a reputable place they'll re-apply for free.

Right on. It's pretty reputable as far as I can tell, 17 years in business and comes with a "lifetime guarantee". Thanks for the peace of mind.

I'm working on getting 5% all around on my car. I'll post pictures when I get it done. If I were you I'd at least get 35%, 50% is pretty much nothing....coming from a guy that is getting 5%....

is 5% on your windshield legal in most states?

Windshield meaning front of car. No here in pennsylvania. Any tint on the drive and passenger side windows and the front windshield are illegal. Pennsylvania has a law stating you need 70% light to pass through. And for all you wondering how they tell there's not 70% going through they have a meter

I'm in pa as well. I've always heard of people getting nailed for it. Doubt it would draw the initial ticket but an easy thing to add on.
*** I also noticed I wrote legal in my first post. Definitely meant "illegal" haha

As a member of law enforcement, and a pa resident I will chime in on the tint. In pa, you will be busted for any tint on the driver and passenger side. Period. This is for officer safety.I always approach a vehicle with tint with caution.
With that being said, I would usually write a fix it ticket. Prove the tint is removed within 10 days, and pay nothing.

This is the exact reason I have my widows rolled down before the cop even gets out of the car.
And the exact reason 90% of the time I ask to have them roll the window up after they sign the ticket.
We arent dumb...if its 20 degrees out and you have your window rolled down, we know why
