Nice, I was always worrying about how it would be at night with a tinted windshield.

I'll charge all you guys $100/ per jeep for all the windows, polarized industrial grade window tint, BUT you have to come down to Puerto Rico lol, maybe next time lol

Anyway from what I've read here those prices are ridiculously high, still if you want professional results window tint IMO isn't a do it yourself kinda of thing. Patience is the key. Always check states laws before installation. Here's mine with 35% windshield, 20% front doors, 5% rear doors and all back windows.

I used a steamer-soap and water-alcohol and ammonia mixed with water(all equal amounts) today to take my window tint off--getting the tint off was the easy part-the glue was much harder to get off- I used ajax to get it off-it works good..I worked really hard but it was worth it and its all off except for the 2 windows in the hatchback,they can wait for now-got rained out!!Now I need to get me some tint!!

I tint windows for a living... your making an easy thing too hard. steaming the rear window was a good idea, but the rest of them you can just use soapy water and a razor blade. any questions PM me.

Tint turns purple or bluish from window cleaners like windex and such most people dont know that timt should be washed with soapy water only

Only cheap film that is dyed will change color. Higher grade films get their color from metals in the film

Don't scrape a blade over the defroster lines Lisa. They'll never work again. and when you get it redone PLEASE take it to a professional.
