I've had 35% in the fronts and 20% in the back for a couple of months now, no problems even as I pass state troopers and local.

just talked to ceasar earlier today and he does the blue mercedes tint. However, he does a 50%, not the 70% that comes with the stock MB. I'm sure it'll look great!

well i got tinted earlier this week.. unfortunately i decided to take pics today until it started to rain so ill see if i ll take better pics later on.
i wanted it to look as close to oem so i wouldnt get hassled by the cops. at the same time enjoying the benefits of tints.
i did 50% mercedes blue. caesar did a great job doing it. man is this guy quick.

It's been a while since Ceasar did the tints on my GS and so far they look great, real quality work.

Default chicagoland tint shops?

hey guys,

just as the title says, i need some help finding a really good shop. would like them to be in the burbs if possible. also need some advise on what tint to go with. I want something that looks good and uniform but not too dark at the same time. i was thinking of 35% all around. would that look good? anyone with any pics of 35% all around?

thanks for the help!

cheers!

I had great luck with my 1gen IS300 and 35% at the below place. Sure, you will receive a ton of respective places from other members, this place was honest and under $200.
