    I'm telling you no respectable tinter that guarantees his work would ever lay the smaller piece down first. You ever seen a professional tinter lay film over sun dots? If that happens then you have air around each dot...the same thing would happen with the window tint no matter how good the tinter is. The dots need to be removed first or spray tint is used. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of logic and common sense. All to save $5 or 10 if not free?

    Look at my blue 96 GT, tinted over the dots and turned out perfect. Ask anyone that saw it. Had several comments on it being the best Mustang tint job they had ever seen. Takes time, but can be done.

    I was debating getting %5 all around my 4runner with a %5 strip and %35 on the windshield. I might go ahead and do it now $200 is a good deal for it.

    Only decent picture I have of my Toyota after the 5% strip then 35% over it... I'll try to grab more when I get to it again. Been this way since 05 with no issues yet.

    So what nobody has figured out how to efficiently do since 1983 or so was miraculaously done on your car? Well shit who's this tinter? The guy I was going to go to was one of the first 3 guys in the world to do automotive window tinting but I'll go to yours if he's brave enough to put on Hüper Optik.

    I'm not saying hes the best, but like I said ask anyone that saw it. No need to be a smartass about it.
