DC/VA/MD question
Hey anyone in DC/VA/MD know any good places to do tints? I was thinking of doing crystalline 3M at 35% around and 70% windshield (unless someone recommends something else)
New to the area thanks! |

Not sure if you got it done yet or not but I went to AP Tinting and they did a FANTASTIC job. I got Llumar Formula One Pinnacle 30%. There is zero dust anywhere under the film. Very nice facility just a little out of the way. I wish I had gotten my S4 tinted there.

Look at Skyline Tint in Springfield and talk to Paul. They did a great job. It was $320 for the F80 with ceramic tint.

I did 30% all around but they also have 40% available.
Here is a photo, granted it is in my garage so it looks a lot darker than it is. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=94

That looks really great, they do nice work. 30% all around I assume is street legal. Is going to 40% just for side and back glass? Front as well? Does it effect HUD? If so, is it even still visible if one is wearing polarized sunglasses? Thanks- Dean

VA legal is 50% in the front and 35% in the back. Nothing is on my front windshield so the HUD is just fine. They suggested 30 all around for the look and it turned out great. From the inside, you can see perfectly out and from the outside it gives the car a great appearance.

Great thread! I'm gonna need this when I get my car haha. Usually do all my tints where my dad gets it done in LA, but I'll be getting my M3 in Baltimore!

had mine done a LA Tint in manassas. service was quick and tint well done.
they have locations in manassas and sterling. the sterling one is more well-reviewed and i would goto that one. i have formula one pinnacle. 35% rears, 50% front.
