Tint ?

I am thinking about tinting about my SC300. I was wondering how much it would run me and what places do good work? I live in SCV (Santa Clarita Valley), but I am willing to go down to the LA area. I was thinking Black Diamond? A 35% would be the way to go because my car is all black. Thanx again for the help.

I got 5% all around and 50% on the windshield and I know it's illegal but I haven't got in trouble for it yet. I don't know what's illegal in CA (5% has to be) but if you wanna go dark, I'm telling you, 5% on a black/black SC looks great! Too bad you're not up here, I know a guy and used to work for him and he's been tinting for 21+ years.

I'm pretty sure tinting prices are similar, but I'd guess around $200 or so. I'd ask co-workers or friends in your area on recommendations on quality shops; don't want any bubbles!

Luxury Motorworks arranged for my tinting. I think cost will run around ~$150-175.

200 is a little high. Usually tint runs for about 120-150. I paid 105 for all my windows in limo, and the guy came to my house and did it in about an hour.
