Got my TL-S tinted by Sunshades in Alpharetta. Used 35% Llumar Stealth tint. Really looks good on a black car. Also keeps the car much cooler. Cost around $230.

Let me know if you want the phone number.

you have to find a " shady " place to get it really dark. I will try and remember the name of the place that did mine. I had to drive out to Hiram GA to get it done.

I got mine done at SunShades in Alpharetta for $215 with the 35% llumar stealth tint. He did a good job, did the back in one piece and covered the brake lamp since I have a spoiler and he also tinted all the way up on the side windows and didn't leave a gap like some places do.

If you want it done right do not look for shady places. I had mine done at some shady shack on moreland past I20, in the parking lot of a texaco they had a tinting shack set up. Cost me 130, but they did not do a good job. Both my doors are peeling slightly, will need to get it redone soon.

I got mine done at Custom Sun Control. Formula One tint for 260. This is a very professional place and they did a great job. I own my car, so I don't mind spending the extra cash for piece of mind. I would stay away from those "shady" places...

This is the same place that did my tint. Would highly recommend this place if you want it done right. I talked with several tint shops before letting Sunshades do the work. A lot of places don't go to the top of the side windows and looks really tacky.

Nole,
There is an 1/8 in Dallas and a 1/4 in Commerce. Me and some friends are planning on going up to Commerce sometime. I will let you know when we do to see if you are interested in meeting up.

Hey guys, I just got the tint on my CL redone to go darker. I actually got it done at Allstate in Tucker and have been having a problem. On my front two windows the film has slight ripples in it so that at night all the lights have a slight halo around them. I have had the windows redone 3 times now and this time it is not as noticable, but it is still there and is annoying. Anyone have any suggestions what might be causing this?

Clean the windows before hand extremely well. Also, does your rain have acid rain on it? Mine's the same way, it's due to the acid rain spots.

Its not really spots, more like tiny ripples across the entire window. Anything you recommend to clean it, because I really don't want to have to take it to them anymore after the 4th time.
