But its just a fact that the darker your window the better it will blend since the wrap is black anyways. I'm not sure about cali, but here there's no limit on tint unless its the front windshield and front driver and passenger windows.
Guys, thanks for the good info and help. Cali does not care what the rear window tint % is, they do ticket for side windows. Hence two reasons I did not go darker in the rear. One is the blend from the rear to the sides, too much of a difference will leave the entire car looking bad. Second,going with a real dark in the rear always makes it difficult to see out the rear at night.

This is very good info and I will definitely get a sample and look at the type of texture of black and it's finish. Black sounds like the route to go, just need to find the right finish to pai up with my rear and side tints.

So about $100 installed has been the going rate? If batman can get me a sample shipped then I can compare his brand/type/texture/finish to some local vendors. I am probably going to have my clear bra installer do the work. I believe he did his vette awhile back and it it turned out great. He is very meticulous and does clear bra only.

Q: will your sources sell the material only?

Thanks
