bpscion DONT get 5% all around. they will pull you over all the time. Do you wanna be paranoid every time you see a cop. it sucks. i had to change my tint % to a lighter shade of 35% and 20% on the rear windshield. a tint ticket is quite expensive these days

and stillmotion, its kinda far from the mall. If you take Western north about a 20 min it should be right on it. i dont know of any tint places around here. oh wait, there is a place called Abrahams Auto Glass and Body passing Roosevelt and Cicero. they charge pretty cheap.

but i am really fond of the chrome mirror flame tint surrounded by the dark tinit. whatdo you guys think?

nah, really i just want a light tint. nothing too dark, just dark enought to reflect a bit at night. its hard to tell someon that had their ____ ripped off not to tint their windows...

If you are looking for something light go with the 35%, but anyway, i think your car looks good without them. Ur car is different.

Percision glass tinting in Orland Park. http://www.pgtint.com/

A little drive but worth it. The owner is a long time friend of mine, and a master of tint.
This shop is so good, I am making the 8 hour drive to get my 3rd box done. OK, so its free for me.

He keeps up to date on the latest greatest products and training.
Well worth the trip.

Default Window tint

whats he charge?
Give em a call 877 909 6161 He's always been less than Zebart and close to the same as small shops. Sometimes less.

The main thing is the quality of tint, a great first time installation, and warranty on the product and install.

He does the entire glass. No 1/4 inch away at the top on the roll down windows.
He's also known for doing big curved glass with no seams. Like the rear glass on Camero's.

i live very close to orland park. 10 miles
I grew up in Worth, and lived in Midlothian up untill 2001.

I took my tC to a shop in Zion for $200. sounds like you could find it cheaper elsewhere, but I've seen 3 so far and this guy is great. supposedly guaranteed...
