I was told before it was put on that he would replace it even though it wasnt legal (20%) But after being pulled over and had to remove it he more or less said sorry pal your SOL. So im going elsewhere for my new tint.

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.

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

This guy offers the same guarantee/warranty. I went with him because he used the "Advantage Film"... I wanted Huper Optik, but I was told it's very expensive (I was given quotes for $300-$450 to use that film).

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!

Huper Optik is the absolute best film out there :yay: Crazy expensive, but if you want the best that is it.

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.

A tint place will put whatever the customer wants on it. Some people don't care they will pay to have it put on, pay to have it removed, and pay to put it on again.

But the business owner isn't going to agree to put something on the car that's illegal, then agree to remove it at no cost to the customer when they get caught. That story just smacks of :bs:

Yep exactly.

It's not illegal for everyone anyway. You can get a doctor's note that permits you to go darker than the legal limit. With the military base here some people still have their vehicles tagged in other states so they can get away with the darker tint too I believe.

Any place locally use Huper Optik ? Looked at their website and they dont have a dealer/installer list available.

The only local place I know that does Huper Optik's is TOO INTENSE WINDOWS® Huper Optik and LLumar Window Films - he mainly does commercial stuff during the day, but in the evenings and weekends (appointment only) he does vehicles. I do not know about his work but my buddy (with the SL600) was going to go with him, but got into a rush and could not get in fast enough for him so he went somewhere up near Columbia MD.
