Well, it's okay. It was a lesson well learned. I did get what I paid for.

Is this normal?

When I drive at night, the lights I see in rearview mirror look blurry,
like the picture I have here:



As you can see in the picture, there are light reflections(?) along the defogger lines.

Will these go away later?

Formulaone tint is the best tint you can get for your car. They add metallic to the dye and it reflects more of the sun then the regular tint out there. If you can afford it go for it. The Tint Pros here in Huntington Beach is really good.

+1 Great TINT but hella $$, if its worth it to you then you can give them a call they should be able to give you a list of dealers.


isbn1975 dont use your defrosters with the tint or else you'll get an outline of them

is that only the first few days/weeks? or once you get the rear windshield tinted, you can't ever use the rear defrosters?

It's the window, if you want to get rid of the greenish hue use regular non metallic tint, dye based only.

Also those of you who say you got ceramic, it's most like the metallic based Silhouette tint. I just checked johnson's website and they added a few more shades since I had mine done over a year ago.

what kind of tint does everyone have from them? i'm inquiring about their "glossy black" tint now.. my flat matte black tint doesn't reflect the heat well enough to my liking.

anyone have the glass black tint? they said it cant be installed on the rears? anyone have this problem?
