Window Tint

[Virginia_Dodge]

Anyone know a reputable dealer/shop that does excellent window tint jobs and to where I can get my 35%/20% done?

[cain0main]

I am not familiar with that area, but do a search to see if you have a "LA Tint" shop. That is who I have used for all of my cars and I have never been disappointed. They have the laser cut machine and did mine perfectly.

[Virginia_Dodge]

Chit, they up in Woodbridge/Alexandria nuttin down here 3 hour drive for a tint job? damn Road trip!

[soccerbachelor]

TNT did my Jeep and did a pretty good job down off Birdneck. I got my Charger done at a shop off Rosemont and 264 at Admirals Auto Glass, don't go there, been back 4 times for them to fix it and it still isn't right!!!

[Virginia_Dodge]

how good did they do and will they do my 35/20 or will they do the law and put 50/35?

[soccerbachelor]

You don't get a receipt with illegal tint, I got a business card with a number on the back in case there are any issues, but any more cars that I get, I will be using TNT, a few of my buddies have done it there too.

[Virginia_Dodge]

so if it bubbles, fades, etc, just go with the card, no receipt?

[ChargerSXT]

I would LOVE to have mine done with darker tint... :errf:

That is why I like LA Tint. They said that I couldn't have a rec. because it was not legal tint but gave me a card. Plus I know that they keep all the info in the office computer as well because when I went in to get it done, he said he saw all the other cars that I have done and asked if I wanted the same tint%. (I have never had to take any car back to be fixed for tint problems, just make sure you get metallic tint so that it won't fade)

[soccerbachelor]

Yes but if you have an 06 like myself, metallic tint will make you loose your AM radio.

That it will...

[sco_pet]

i have 5% all around ;)

[DaveDees]

Yes but if you have an 06 like myself, metallic tint will make you loose your AM radio.Just a reminder...FM is very popular these days. :smoke:

[ChargerSXT]

Just a reminder...FM is very popular these days. :smoke:

The metallic tint has also screwed up my FM reception.

FYI...ESPN radio is only on AM around here. :D

[Virginia_Dodge]

Unless you listen to 610 for the tunnel info in the AM

[ChargerSXT]

ESPN Radio 1310...Mike and Mike in the morning...every morning.

I got 20 all the way around from TNT.. No problems at all.. Lifetime fix or replacement with that little card..

[wrestlingnrj]

I believe I have 3M film and it's 12% front 5% rear with a 5% strip on the windshield.

[Ujokin2]

Heck I forgot what I have but it is whatever is legal in VA.

[Profit of Doom]

ESPN is also on sat radio...... and Tunnel is easy.. Traffic is backed up

[ChargerSXT]

I may have to check TNT out. Where are they located?

[Virginia_Dodge]

take I264 to Birdneck like you are going to oceanfront, hang a left onto birdneck, go about 1000 yards, they are on the right. They were very friendly and only took about 40 mins to do the charger. Nice guys, i would recommend them to anyone

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[Virginia_Dodge]

50/35 is legal, I went 35/20 looks sharp!

[yldthng]

Cops around here used to be SO bad about dark tint--I'm sure some of you who have been in VA for a while will remember. I guess they must have eased up some with the enforcement of the law because I see a LOT of cars riding around with darker than legal tint and they have VA plates.

Just my luck, I'd get a ticket.

Just like yesterday at the movies--the guy with the Charger that was sitting on the ground--he had tinted tails. I really want tinted tails. *sigh*

i own 3 tint and stereo shops down here in fla but that's a long drive for you unless you feel up to it. all our tint work is done with a machine that cuts the film for us.

Dang...I drive past those guys all the time. I've noticed the business there, but I've never paid attention to their name. I work less than a half-mile from them.

[soccerbachelor]

I was gonna say when I stopped by your work that time, I had to drive past TNT, way to be an officer with those blinders on!

[Virginia_Dodge]

how do I attach a picture to this from local drive!

[DaveDees]

You could try this. When you reply to a thread go to the 'Go Advance'. Scroll down to where it says 'Manage attachments'. A window will pop up and from there you can browse for the pic you want to attach. That's how I did it a few minutes ago.

[soccerbachelor]

or add reply and go to manage attachments

[Virginia_Dodge]

From the Camera Phone, good ones are on the big camera.

[ChargerSXT]

Looks nice!

[Virginia_Dodge]

I love it, makes it look sharp, now I need to do the Dual Exhaust thingie.

I know it is beat to death on here but if you come by the dyno day this weekend, hear my exhaustdepot duals, it will be a done deal!

[Virginia_Dodge]

ok what is the price for that?

[Virginia_Dodge]

Ok got a sig page going now

[soccerbachelor]

pic page you mean??

Its looking good though!!!

go to www.exhaustdepot.com I think they run about $600 and about 50 to install

[ChargerSXT]

OK...here's a possibly stupid question...

Does window tint come in shades/darkness other than 20, 35, 50, etc.?

Like I've said before, I'd love to have my windows a bit darker, but I don't want to be too dark and get the wrong type of attention...if you know what I mean. I would like to be able to get just a shade darker than legal.

[soccerbachelor]

There is limo/black and smoke and mirror. Different colors and other options but personally I think regular limo black is best, and the darker the better, but I'm not a wuss like some people, lol.

I know about all that, smart@$$...:tongue:...what I mean is are there other shades or levels of darkness...like 45, 40, 30, etc.

Back in the day...I had limo tint on the rear window of my truck, and 35 (I believe) in the side windows. Talk about dark! :alien:

[Virginia_Dodge]

they go all the way down to -10% which means privacy tint, you can't see in, and you would be very lucky to see out!

So I could get, say, 45/30 or 40/30 or 40/25?

[Virginia_Dodge]

when you see mine tomorrow it is 35/20, the number is the amount of light allowed in. the smaller the number the darker it is.

Roger...I got that. Right now, I have the legal 50/35. I want it a bit darker, but I'm afraid that 35/20 will be a bit to dark...especially on my black car...in that it will get the attention of the local law enforcement (I wouldn't mind it that dark). That's why I'm wondering about the tint levels between 35/20 and 50/35.

[Profit of Doom]

Mine is 35 20 you or 50 20 I am not sure so you can see it today too looks really good on the silversteel cars

[Virginia_Dodge]

if you look at my pic page I did here, you will see how dark 35/20 is. I don't see a reason not to be that dark, just roll the windows down when local LEO pulls ya over to show no threat

[ChargerSXT]

I'll take a look at everyone's tomorrow.

[soccerbachelor]

I have 35/20 on the Civic and it is a good amount of tint. Craig, you have a sunroof, if you are around the beach or whatever you want, open the roof, let more light in, they look lighter. I have 20 on the Jeep and put 15 on top of stock on the back of it, you will see it Saturday, it is really dark.

[soccerbachelor]

I'll take a look at everyone's tomorrow.

I bet you will :wink:
