    No, I made sure that the bottom edge of the tint is below the rubber seal of the window frame. If you get it make sure you dont get the 5%. That is way too dark even for side windows. When applying it spray the glass with water, makes it easier to get all the air bubbles out.

    Or those windows in fancy hi rises, you flip a switch and the glass gets dark. Must be LCDs or something.

    I just tried that static cling two wks ago. I put it on and ended up taking it right back off. Distortion was really bad. But I like clean windows and mirrors, it was just too much blurr for me. I plan on having my windows tinted profesionally when i get the chance.

    Ya. This can be done about 75% of the way across the driver window and still leave full visibility through the side mirrors.

    Plus you can drive in a #######y style and not make eye contact with other drivers. Which I like to do.
