California Tint in Rosemead!!!! I've had 4 cars taken to them & they all turned out great! 7 years running strong. Tint never turned purple with ugly bubbles & they are very helpful

I went to All Star in Long Beach off Paramount and Artesia. Jay and John are nice guys and charge very reasonable rates.
I just got it done Saturday and noticed a couple bubbles in the top corner of my right passenger window. Need to call them, hope they take care of it.
Got 20% all around

Default Recommend a Tint shop in the So bay area?

Hi folks, am wondering if anyone can recommend me a good tint shop in the south bay area of LA. Torrance etc. My girl just picked up a RC350 and I wanna get her a good ceramic tint job. I've been quoted $300 for 5 windows by another shop. Want to get my truck done at the same time too. Suggestions? Thanks!

Will you be able to see anything out front with 35%?

I want to get some really light tint for the front, but seems like it won't be optically clear for night time driving.

It's light compared to most limo tint, but I can't image driving at night with 35%. Maybe your vision is better than mine, or my neighborhood is dimmly lit.

Tint on the front windshield does distort the light from oncoming cars, but it really depends on the angle of the glass. It's like wearing polarized sunglasses and looking through your side windows. It's slightly distorted, but you can get used to it.

It's definitely because of your neighborhood.
