So I will give you a free upgrade if you need a car, and if I am in the office obviously.

Had both my A6's doe there, 35% and 20% currently, $250 for all the windws (except the windshield obviously).

3M has a lifetime warranty against fading, peeling, cracking or bubling which is why I went with the carbon based window film.

Cant remember the name of the shop but they are on Lake just a block and a half west of Halsted.

Forget Shady Days and the rest of the burbs, not necessary and out of the way for us city folk ;)

Looks like this girl we call Kat, but she does not have bolt-ons (at least last I checked).

adhesion. Others cut the film around them so there's no bubbling, but also no film in that area. Depending on the car and tint, that can be a hit or miss. Then also on some cars I've seen the tint stick perfectly to the dots with nothing having been done to them.

Sanding the matrix causes perminant damage to your glass. I do not recommend that procedure. Some places also use pinch weld primer and others use lettering vinyl to cover the matrix. All are done to cover a fact of life. Matrix never will look like the rest of the glass. Shaded Days installs the film in a manor that makes it 100% reversable. At some point in time, you or the next guy may not want that film on the car. This is important to keep in mind.
