OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you all are going to be JEALOUS of my strames (Stripes/flames)... WOW Mike out did himself!!! When I get home tonight (we are STILL here) I will upload some pictures. I am not sure if they will turn out to show off the color, but you will be able to get an idea.

And of course Carlos made my car look AWESOME with the tint! 18% all the way around with 50% on the windsheild

Your post is useless without pics, Stacey !!

I'm sure it's beautiful because Mike always does great work. But I am intrigued by this thing you call "strames". Can't wait to see !!

"strames"...i love it. They are very very cool. The prismatic effect is fascinating, but then..I don't get out much.

Sushi was extra yummy, made so by the wait..We're gonna have to complete the Great Maryland Sushi Taste Test at Joss cafe in Annapolis soon.

Without traffic, I made it home in just under an hour..wheeeeee!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo... Cecelia looks like a new (and even hotter) MINI, Stacey !! Jay showed me some pics in the camera this morning but they were hard to see. So thanks for posting !!

Watch out for all the gawkers now... you're liable to cause traffic problems and accidents !

It was good to see some of the DCMM members again this a.m. And it was good to see the face behind the creative genius (no, not you, Paul... I mean MIKE).

Pics of our tint jobs forthcoming. Right now it's football time.

Pulled myself away from the tv and football long enough to take a few shots of the new tintage. Here's CR and PW with 20% tint all around:







Carlos does great work... he said bubbles are to be expected but will go away in a few days. But there's hardly any there !

THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially after Mike trimmed a little around the edges. (disregard the bubbles...the vinyl is still baking in the sun) But all I can say is, Thanks! I my have to find some smoked turn signals tho. How are those chrome ones working for you?

I KNEW you would! Just as long as when you have it sitting around, you let the windows cure in the sun! I hope it worked out for you.
I had to wait, I had a few bubbles, but they are gone now and I put the top down yesterday. Now I need to take some pictures of her with the top down, sinceI don't know what she looks like now with them down. But I sure do like the darkness.
But I forgot that with the tint on the windscreen my sunglasses make everything look like rainbows! It was rather weird driving with the cars "popping out" like in a 3D movie! I guess I will have to get used to it...

Might have to take mine back to Carlos, too. Drivers side front window has two pretty large bubbles (about the size of a kidney bean). No big deal, they will likely go away in a few days, but... one of them has a white ring around the edge of it, almost like some of the solution got trapped in there and then dried.

I'll give it a week and if it's not gone, Hellooooooo Carlos.
