I got quoted $500
to tint this entire Tesla,
but to be honest...
I'm not going for that
I'm going to be learning
very first time...
The tint I have right now is
35%
Let's hope that I don't
tint the car
too dark...
So we kind of messed up
on this first one.
There's a lot of bubbles
and lines in the middle
We're just going to consider
this
a practice test.
I went through
so much tint that we
only have
just enough to attempt
the windshield
one time...
