Hi. I'm looking for a good tint shop in the VA/MD/DC area. I would welcome any recommendations from forum members who have had good experiences or know of a shop that does quality work.

Thanks,

United Solar Tinting in Laurel is excellent. He's done a lot of G35 Coupes and he is reasonably priced. $140 for all the windows (except the front of course). Check out the pics of it at imagestation.com:

I've seen the tint job for wjfm1 and they did a great job too. United only has 35% and 20% in regular charcoal colored tint. Don't get me wrong he has a wide selection but I wanted 30% and he didn't have it. Great guy though, Mark.

i've been looking for a tint shop as well..
*startertan, you car looks good. just wondering, how were they able to treat areas with dot matrix? i just don't like to see lifting or bubbles on those areas.. any other shops you guys recommend?

I just picked my Coupe up on Saturday and have was looking into tinting before I picked it up. No prices but I was given these two places for Huper Optik:
Baltimore/Columbia/Annapolis area is Performance Window Tinting 301 455 3097, ask for Clayton. In the DC/Southern Maryland area Craig at Too Intense is our dealer

My previous car was done at Accurate Glass Tinting, I think they moved to Reisterstown, MD. They use 3M film and have lifetime warrantes. I had that car done about 5 years ago and it looks pefect still, although the Dot Matrix part wasn't pefect. But I'm sure there are new techniques to correct that now. I will be calling all three places for quotes tomorrow.

Out of curiosity what is the % on the one hosted on imagestation 30%?

 

Oh yeah, forgot the warranty. United has a one year labor, lifetime parts warranty (call to double check that). I have had no problems with my tint and it's been almost 10 months since I've had it done.

As for the bubbles. It's not perfect near the bubbles but I'm not sure if you can completely get the tint bubble free near the dots (this is what I've been told). Like I said not a single problem yet. Definitely check him out. He keeps pics of all the cars that he works on. When I went he had like 5-10 pics of G35Cs. Now I hear he has a book of nothing but G35s (this is also what I've been told).

The tint on my windows is a legal 35%. If you have graphite interior it looks darker. In retrospect I wish I would've gotten darker but I'm quite happy with it. If you guys have anymore questions drop me a line.

 

Hello Startertan,

My shop was D & L on Route 40 by Whitemarsh! 30% All around real experience as they only tint and wash. Warranty is for vehicle not time period. Around 140

2003.5 G35C BL/GR, NAV, PREM, AERO, TINT, SPORT, Splash, V1

 

Thanks for all the responses. I've taken down some phone numbers to call. I've also heard some good stuff about LA Tint in Manassas. Does anyone have any experience with them? I've visited their page and they seem to exclusively use Formula One films.

Thanks

LA Tint did mine 5% all around. Quality of the work is superb & the owner Mike is a really cool guy. Here's some pics:
