no. i hate tinted windows. i really see no point. after a while it starts pelling and you have to redo it every so often. ive never actually seen any body do it good enough to where it lasted a couple yrs and they had to redo it. my 2cs

Really? You need to find someone that doesn't use Wally mart film then. I've always tinted my windows (to state legal limits), and have never had the film come off. Don't use cheap crap, have someone that knows what they're doing put it on, and it will last for years and years without problem.

Slap some crap on from Wally World and watch it turn purple and bubble off.

To the OP...I think that color would look good with a dark tint.

**** turns purple because purple use an ammonia based glass cleaner. I tinted mine over a year ago with tint from wal mart. Only used an actual cleaner on my windows twice since done. I always go over it dry

Tinted mine 2 years ago with WalMart Professional film. Hasn't peeled yet. Only has blemishes from Dog hair that got under the tint when I put it on.

You won't fully get the point of tint till you have on your own vehicle.
