Default window tinting suggestions - 90028 zip

i'm a first time scion owner (09 xD), new to the boards and just moved to LA from out east last week. i'm in 90028 and i'm looking for reputable window tint shops. any suggestions appreciated, especially for one that won't frown on me asking for front passenger and driver side tints.

thanks!

its LA! as long as you pay, they won't say anything to you! the cops give you the ticket not them! ooo i hate those! depending on how dark you want to go in the front, there are some shops that will replace the tint for you one time for free if you get a fix-it ticket so you might want to look into those

go with california tint inc, they are in rosemead. For me, tt's about 120 for all 5 windows plus lifetime warranty if you get bubbles or something.

They get super busy, so go on the weekday because if you go on the weekend you might get turn away.

here's the yelp link for direction and review.

viva Californiastan!

I suggest either not goin really dark (as legal in other states) or do the fronts less dark than the back. Like that, I have been scrutinized many times by authorities without incident, on my previous autos.

i recommend you go 20% on the back and 35% all around. me, i went 5% all around >=D. don't go too light then theres no point in tinting ur window in the 1st place!!

Except when it's free! :D

don't go too dark on fronts and you'll be ok if you're worried about it. light or medium.
