That doesn't make sense. Why would he offer to replace something that you both know is illegal, and you know you'll have to replace/remove if you get pulled over for it? Doesn't sound like very good business sense to me.

Also, why would they put illegal tint on your vehicle or for that matter even carry it?

If you own a truck or suv you can tint all windows eccept for the front doors and windshield as dark as you want to.

Gotcha. Still, these places should not be tinting side windows illegally.

I've got Huper Optik on my car...It was recommended by the dealership because of the electronics...it looks great but also blocks tons of heat out...

but yeah it stupid expensive..

I spoke to a dealer up in Columbia and he was saying that if it takes 1-2 hours to tint a vehicle with Advantage or a similar product it can take twice as long to use the Huper Optik because of the complexity... he said it can be pretty reflective too... is that true?

I'm hoping this tint helps reduce the heat (drastically), plus I wanted to protect the leather and the dash.

did you go up to PWT? I'm not sure exactly how long it took them to do the windows, they had the car for 9 hours...but I also got all of the lights smoked too....

As far as reflectivity goes, it's not bad...it looks pretty sweet...I only went 38%....so it's dark but you can still see in.

I'm with you, I want to protect the interior....not to mention there isn't anything worse than burning the hell out of the backs of your legs on the seats!

I think that is where my buddy went with his Mercedes SL600 - and he went with Huper Optik tint - when you are spending 90k+ on a car, what is a few bucks more for tint right?

I can't believe that he would tell you he would replace tint that was not legal if you got busted for it. That wouldn't fall under a warranty

We do window tint and we let everyone know up front that if they go with illegal it's on them if they get caught. It would be stupid to do otherwise especially considering how much they have been cracking down on it lately. My car is illegal and I have been caught once with it.
