Greenish tint?

I tinted my windows about a month ago, they are 35% all around. Windows look a little greenish when I look though them from the side of the car, is that because of the factory tint what was on there?

Anyone else have this?

probably not...different manufacturers of tint sometimes have different residual colors. some look grey, some look blue, etc. as long as you are happy with the result, no big deal. however, cheaper brands will tend to fade or turn purple. a reputable shop will guarantee their work if this should happen. keep your receipt!!

The tint came with lifetime guarantee; it also came with "ticket protection". If I ever get a ticket for the front windows, they will take the tint off for free, and then put it back on for half the price once it gets written off.

Residual colors eh...It looks great overall, I kind of wish the residual color was bluish but too late now, ah well.

Unless you are happy with it, I would suggest taking it back to the shop and asking them why it looks that way

I called the place today, and they told me that it might be due to the factory tint. They said their tint does not change the color of the window. I have 2 samples in front of me (i was choosing between 35% and 55%) and they don’t have any green hue to them.

The shop said i can bring it by, and if the film is "failing" they will fix it, but if it’s normal then they will charge me to take it off.

Anyone know what color is the factory tint?

Im starting to think it is from factory tint as well. I took 2 pictures, one with flash and one no flash.

Here are the results. The flash exposed the green hue, as you can see the black lining around the window looks green, even all the way to the edge where they dont tint. The matrix dots look green too.

Any thoughts?

No one else has this problem?

Guys with stone interior and 35% tint... when you look at your back window from a close range, does the interior look greenish?
