Thanks for the info, I know that there will be some bubbling after installation, the tint needs to set and cure, so I'm leaving the car out in the TX sun to give it a chance to heat up. There are a couple scuff marks that look like its from the squeegee, which can be easily cleaned. The scratch marks I see are pretty prominent, it looks like there might have been a bubble and the installer tried to push it out with the squeegee and it pulled the tint, causing a small tear/scratch. Looks like there are two or three small ones on the driver side and one on the driver side rear quarter panel.

What's hilarious is that the head dealer/manager at Courtesy said he "personally inspected it"...What a load of crap. It can't be THAT difficult to install tint can it?
