i personally think on wagons and coupes it looks ok to go with a staggered tint setup. i personally would go Huper Optik instead, w/ 30-35% for all back windows and 60% on the front two windows. I personally don't like getting too dark tint just because I do a bit of driving at night and it's a real PIA when you have really dark tint and you need to back up at night. But that's just me...

of course if you're only going for cosmetics and damn the practicality...then white looks sweet with a dark contrast...so go with the darkest tint.

Do they remove the windows to tint or do they just go up to the rubber stuff?

How much does it usually run?

no they do not remove the windows. they have special squeegees that push the tint beyond the rubber so you can't tell where the tint begins.

pros can usually tint 5 windows in about 2 hours. depending on the thickness of film. usually they get you to drop off the car for the whole day or half the day so they can get it done.
