The borders suck and it has a compound curve.

The curve is the big issue. I tried to get mine done once. I had the appointment set up after they took a look at the car but when I arrive on the set day, they told me they couldn't do it and have it looks the way I wanted.

I can't stand seams or lines in tint and they wouldn't be able to do it without them. I know some places can do it but I put the money elsewhere in the car by the time I found someone that claimed they could.

I'm not giving up on my guy yet....hopefully money will talk. Either way I'll have him remove the crappy tint on the hatch. I wouldnt mind paying $500/$600 for a great job.
