Nope, where can I get my whole windshield tinted without being hassled? I just want 50% or higher. You can't even tell it's tinted when it's that light! But it does make the inside a lot cooler.

The guy a used did a crappy job. He just works out of his garage and he gave me these excuses. I'm gonna have to have it taken off and redone again. I'll prolly just go to mother's this time unless anyone has a better suggestion.

i've heard the mothers does a good job. but they dont stand behind their work. i took mine to custom sounds. they did a lousy job, but since it has a life time warranty im not worried. they had to redo my tint like 3 times. it still has bubbles. and the melted the molding on the b-pillars. but they agreed to pay for damages. theres a tint shop in austin that the lexus dealership uses. i forgot the name tho

You know they say if you want something done right to do it yourself. I saw a kit on e-bay for a do it yourself tinting. I'm am really close to just doing that. They send you the cut pieces and you glue them on. I figure it can't get much worse.

I couldn't find anyone that would even do 20% so I don't think you will have much luck with that. I tried a guy out of his house but he still gave me a hard time and ended up not doing what I wanted.

I'm gonna take my Honda Accord to mothers this weekend for tint, I'll let you know how that goes.

If you find someone let us know.

I know they'll do 5% all around at mothers. Matter of fact anyone will give you 5%, they just tell you they can't warranty it and all that jazz. Formula one will do what you want. Who gave you a hard time?

if you are willing to drive to houston. there a place in austin called Sunbsuters. from my understanding they do all the tint for the lexus dealership. which is very comforting to know. they carry formula one tint.

Mobile Tint is a good place, they've done several cars for me. They do a lot of high-end cars. Not sure if they'll do illegal tint though.
