and also they will not tint the little back window because its all little dots and the tint would just bubble around it, and if they will do it, dont get it done, it will look really bad after awhile

I worked at a tint shop and the mx-3 is really not to hard to tint (I can tint the whole back window in one piece) I have had all types of different shades of tint I have done 5% on all the windows and 35%on the windsheild but that didn't last to long (I got pulled over in 1 day. lol<P>I would highly suggest finding a place that works with llumar window film.

The strip @ the top of the windshield, not the entire thing.

Llumar window film is just a high quality film. also the companys that use their film are well trained <BR> and if you pay to have the tint installed they usually come with a warranty<BR>they have film that they will warranty for as long as you own the car
