Good work, you saved some major bucks that way. If there are any bubbles I can't see any. It looks great

And I agree, one % all the way around looks better than two different tints

man... I wish I were as talented as you.
I was thinking about doing the tints myself, the door windows seem easy, but it's the back window that's holding me back.
