Window Tint

Depends really on what brand film they use. Don't settle for anything less than 3M or Madico.

Dealerships charge about $450. You can get a great tint job for under $250 for sure. But the $100 ones; make sure they have a warranty and it's written. Most places wont give a written warranty for tint less than 35%.

LOL, 99 bux, why don't you wait in the shop to see what type of job they do on other cars. But hey 99 bux, can't go wrong... or can you?

Does this sound like one of those "you get what you pay for" deals?

Yes it does. Call Matt at TNT Tinting and tell him JV sent you. (703)239-2460
He tints the windows in all the Fairfax County police vehicles, he's excellent and affordable.

What happens if you have an accident while driving a car that has tints darker than is legal and and you are charged with causing the accident?

Any chance your insurance company can say--too bad, so sad?

hmmm...good point, i have never heard of this happening but good thing to look into

[crosvs]

i base whatever i do to my cars on the type of cars that go to the shop in question: if there's a car wash working on ferraris, benzes, and bentleys, i'm fine taking my car there. same with window tint: the shop i went to was working on only the finest of cars. same with the exhaust shop i went to: Shaq had his ride done there.

so honestly, i'd say that's the safest way to judge whether a shop is good or not.

I haven't quite gotten the tint yet on my front windows but for the rear quarter windows and the rear window hatch, I just purchased the sunshade screens that match the rear passenger window screens and it makes a big difference. It makes the X5 looked tinted. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get my front windows tinted to 35%.

I would not go any darker than 35% on the front side windows or you may have some troubles with your local police. I have 35% on the fronts and it matches the rest of the factory tint almost perfectly.
