I know a guy in Akron that does amazing work. I don't know if it would be worth the drive though.
 
Um... don't know the laws in Ohio but...Here in Miami front has to be 25 and up and the rest doesn't matter. But as you see I have 20% all the way around....hehe I love it.

He does great work...he did Jens Jetta for $120. He only uses Lumar tint. He's also done her dads M5/330ci and her brothers Mazda6. It might take him a few hours and you'll have to sit around forever...but its flawless when hes done.

Yea - he does great work too. I would pay 200 to have him do my car(dont tell him that though) hehe...
 
normal prices i've seen are 200 for a 4 door, so if he does it for 120 then thats a good deal.
 
anyone know of n e thing closer to columbus by any chance...who would be worth it to go to for good quality?

major error said:

not exactly. the front windshield can be tinted 30%, but if you ask for 30% tint its going to be really dark. you would ask for 70% tint. that allows for 70% of the light to come through. the windows behind the driver do not apply to the tint laws, so you could do 70 on the windshield, 50 on the front doors, and like 1% on the back doors and still be legal. it would look weird, but be legal.

That's what I always thought. I was also told my a police officer that it's pretty much officers disgression. They don't want to pull over a car and walk up to the window and have no idea who or whats inside.

I did my fiances car with 35% all the way around. It turned out really nice and we've never had an issue.
 
One thing to think about, not sure if anybody's mentioned it...but remember that you will also have to drive at night. The guy that had my msp before me had it limo tinted.....it's 30% or darker not sure exactly, and it is impossible to see out of at night without really good lighting on the roads. So remember that you wont always be driving into sunlight. i have to roll my windows down some times to see if ive never been to where im going.
 
like i said above, i had the protege 35% all around, never a word said. and i actually had my old intrepid at 20% and never got in trouble for it. but i had a friend that got a ticket and a "fix-it" ticket for his..

good point. thats why i did the protege a bit lighter than the prior car.
