I did all of the windows, I was just asking about the defrost wire lines on the back window. I got my tint from Tint Masters in Fargo, ND it came pre-cut and it was simple to do. I have her blacked out in the back with 5% light in and about 30% in the front. I hope the chiefs leave me alone. I also did the front Windshield with 85% tint. It looks awesome, and it doesnt really look like it has tint on it but it keeps most of the heat off the leather when the Sun is blasting down. I didnt want to do it until the manager of tint masters showed me his blacked out Escalade. He had 50% on his windshield Thanks for your guys input

I have 15% all the way around, as you can tell by my sig. I'm debating if I wanna put 70% or 50% on the windshield.

I had 5% all the way around before, I'll never go that dark again. It was more annoying than anything having to roll down the window to park in my own driveway.

when i put my decals on the back window I got a few bubbles and i just poked a tiny hole with an exacto knife and smoothed it out, youd never know i did that.. I bet you could do the same with tint without noticing anything since its such a tiny hole.
