Check the second page of this section. There is a thread on window tinting...the information is a little old though so I guess any updated information would be appreciated! :buddies:

I have used D&G Kustom in Leonardtown several times. Always did a good job.

Street Trenz = expensive
I think Trick trucks used to use Street Trenz, that may not be the case anymore. D & G has always been Eh, they melted my friend headliner with a heat gun when his was done. I am going to use Tint Worx to get mine redone here soon.

I'm not bad mouthing any of these places, but I think $280 to do an SUV is outrageous, hell I was quoted $80 for just the front 2 windows from one of the above mentioned places.

I just got my windows tinted by Street Trendz. I'm super happy with the work that was done. My total came to $200 for the sides and back windows on my car at 35% with a lifetime warranty.

$200!?!?

I remember whn I paid $50 to tint my old truck. Even my girlfriend's car was $160, not far away from $200, but it just seems a bit on the high side.

It wasn't the lowest of the places I called around to but but my final decision took a few more things into account. Some were convenience and availability. Others were things like the attitude of the people I spoke with, reputation, and general ability to answer my questions.

Nothing wrong with that

Platinum Sounds in prince frederick does all of my cars and my friends as well. They offer a couple different solutions. I believe it was $135 for the tint with a 2 year warranty which i think is a good idea if you lease a vehicle and I opted for the $185 film with a lifetime warranty. Never had any trouble and the staff is very nice and down to earth.

Do the cops give you any problems if your windows are tinted? Do they use that as an excuse to pull you over?
The State Police made me scrape my tint to get an inspection, even though the tint was only 1 or 2% over the limit.

Trucks don't have rear window tint limits, cars on the other hand....yes, and yes.

Thanks! I kinda figured... guess I won't be getting them re-tinted then

You can, the problem is the factory windows are "tinted" (You'll notice an "AS2" on the window), so when adding 35% on top of that, it goes over the limit.

You'll have to find a shop that carries 40% tint. That way, with the aftermarket, and factory tint, you're still under the 35% limit.

Personally, I've never been pulled over for tint, and I had 20% all around on my last truck. I have yet to tint my other cars yet. My girlfriend did get pulled over once for just window tint. They made her scrape it off. I'd rather not give the cops a reason to pull me over.
