Dave's tint is.....alotta money.....trust me......It's.....ALOT. I would have went with Ceramic, but it's way too much for my blood.

Hi there, i wish I had a digital camera to take pics of my tint for you. I have 15% tint all around and I paid $165 for the tint. I have been going to the same place for 6 years now and I am very happy with the tint this guy does. He actually does all the dealers in the area. I believe the tint I have is Luminar and it is a titanium tint. Never had a problem with it interferring with my Nav or XM radio. It has a lifetime guarantee against peeling, scratching etc. My car is a 07 IS 250 and it is Tungsten Pear with black interior. I would love to go to 5%tint all around but I have already been pulled over twice by the police for my tinted windows in my other cars and with 5% which is considered to be limo tint I think it would cause even more problems with the police. I love the tint and I am pretty picky and this place does a really good job. If you are in the Los Angeles area, the San Fernando Valley to be more specific I can give you the name and the phone number of the place I use.
