Looks fine to me. Over time the tint will settle and get darker. i got 20 on mine at first and it changed to 13 in a month. legal limit is 25 here in the great state of Texas. i had to rip it off cuz the shop wont redo it for me. They didnt even let me know that it would get darker until i called and told them it is 13. they screwed me. But give it some time and itl get a little darker.

Its a little hard to see, but it is pretty dark. Only pic i had.

No way the tint gets darker. That does not even make sense. If anything, it should get lighter. That's like buying bananas and a week later they are more green then the day you bought them. Its impossible.

That's what the shop told me. And that's what a few other ppl said when I asked. At first it hasn't settled onto the glass they said. A buddy of mine got 5, it went to 2. Another got 10 and it went to 5. So idk.

To go along with the fruit theme, you are comparing apples and oranges. A banana is an object that was living is slowly decaying or "ripening" and you are comparing that to vinyl tint?

Yeah and diamonds decay after 5 million years, you are comparing two things that have nothing to do with each other and are completely different.

Try Google before you go spouting your mouth off again.

Tint doesn't fade unless you get the chepeast $25 roll off of ebay.

No, the tint percentage does NOT change. If you were to put a meter to it first day, then a week or three later it would be the same. BUT, the water and haze that remains days after DOES give it a lighter hazy appearance (kind of GREY). SO, when the tint guy tells you it will get darker after a few days and settle, it's just referring to the perception of the haze as the water dries and the film completely adheres. To the eye it will per say "get darker", but in actuality it is not
