take a look at my tint. help?

Hey Guys,
I just got my car tinted and I have no idea what to look for to see if they did a good job or not. I made them redo the fronts, it looks good, but i want like an experienced person to look at it to see if i got it done correctly. Anyone in the Contra Costa County (especially around walnut creek) experienced in this? or is there a shop that is really good?
Cuz if it is bad I am going to have them redo it again


Thanks Guys
I appreciate it

BEFORE




AFTER(some pics of the windows looks dirty but thats because that was when they were still installing it, and it's from the spray they used to put on the film)






I don't have any close up pics...

there are some tiny bubbles, but I just got it done this past saturday
there is one bubble that i am kind of afraid that it might not do away

Hmm....I don't even know how dark my tint is...but I'm pretty sure its not legal....I live in LA. I guess its cuz I always have my windows down I haven't had many problems.

Just let it cure, from those pics that shop itself looks reputable. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

LOOKS GOOD

So anything darker than factory technically is illegal.

Some LE don't care, some are **** about it. Depends on which town, city, county.

its illegel to have any kind of tint in california on the front 2 windows. but car makers and we do it any way :P

Go to Douglas (King Tint) in San Bruno. He's very good and the price is unbeatable.

I got 50% all around but am considering going back to him to change to 35%.
