looks sharp

Nice, what percent?

 

[Mankussm]

Not sure what percent. The back 3 are one shade lighter than limo and the fronts are a shade lighter than that.

 

[Bingo]

Looks good! Looks like about 15% on the fronts.

Did they install the moleskin on the inside?

 

[Mankussm]

They offered to, but i told then not to worry about it. Was that a mistake?

When I got mine tinted, I asked the guy about it. He said he'd do it - it would've been an extra $10 or $20 - but basically said it's a gimmick and convinced me against it. He also said it attracts dirt and debris which will actually go to scratch the tint. This is one of the best tint shops in the area, so I went with his advice.

I do have some scratches on the tint - only one scratch is somewhat deep and noticeable. I am not sure if the moleskin would've helped or if it's being scratched below the rubber stripping, but after a few days of opening and closing the door, the indexing feature was causing whatever it was to dig into the tint.

You will know in a few days if you're gonna have a scratch.

Looks a lot better, I have moleskin installed and no scratches.. although they do smear moisture which is sort of annoying.

That looks great! I've been wanting to get mine done. How much did it run you?

 

[Weou09]

Mine is 15% all around it was $125 at Randy's tint(it sounds hillbilly but its not).

Window tint is always an added touch.

Shoulda went with the moleskin. My buddy has a tint shop. The first time he tinted my car they were out of the moleskin. After about a year my tint was scratched up real bad. He retinted and used moleskin, I have zero scratches after 2 years.

I get every car I own tinted within the first day or two, most the day I pick them up. I think it's the #1 appearance mod you can do.

I've never had issues with my tint scratching until the Mustang, but mine is getting a few already, and I don't drive it much at all.

I was never offered moleskin, lol
