(Calif I beleive is 70% on front side windows, no % limit on rear and rear sides)
That's just common sense on their part so if you get a fix-it ticket for removing illegal % tint, they're not liable.
Last I was there, they had many samples of tint in different %'s. I saw 5% there. Huper Optik only goes down to 30%, but Sidney has other brands of film that go much lower.
He has Suntec HP for example: "We offer this film in 5%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 35% and 50% visible light transmittance."
So I really don't understand your statement about them not offering a dark enough tint for you.
Had mine done there, top notch workmanship.
Bump for a very good tint shop in Fremont.

^^^ It's cool, no worries.
Depends on what brand/type tint you choose.
I went with Huper Optiks (ceramic), wifes car too. Those cost more due to the film itself and much harder to work with in installation,
but Huper only goes down to 30% so those not dark enough for you.
My cost would'nt be accurate in comparision to what you want to do and with a different/darker film you'd choose.
Give Sid a call. His shop has done many G's. He'll quote you over the phone or Email him. He quotes that way too.

yea i got my tint there too but i was too poor for the Huper Optiks (ceramic) so i got the suntek HP 20, 30, 50 but i might take the 50 off my front windows and get 35 but yea i vouch for automalltint factory they are great but as for price wise id probably goto omega...
Does one brand of tint look better then another? I don't mean percentage wise, but in terms of color and such. I'm not talking about blue vs. black either.
Is there a tint that looks more appealing then the rest?

Hey do you have any pics of your car? I was thinking of doing 50% on my DG.

i got mine at the preferred image too. their tint goes all the way up to the edge of the window, so you can't even see a tint line.
it isn't ceramic or any other fancy tint, but madico is still decent stuff with lifetime warranty. They are much cheaper than the rest too
