Stewarts in Glendale.
Off of San Fernando Blvd around Chevy Chase. They do good work and only use 3M.

Sunshield Tinting in VAn Nuys. I've had 2 cars tinted there and my brother has had 2 cars tinted there. They do excellent work and guarantee it for life.

They're located on Van Nuys Blvd before reaching Ventura.

The place that did mine... on Ventura just south of Topanga Canyon... no bubbles and pretty reasonable price... all 5 windows for $140.

It's called Distinctive Detailing or something like that... I'll get the name when I pass by there again.

Cali tint laws are:

no tint at all on the front
and as dark as you want on the rear.

BUT like myself and almost everyone else, we still tint the front. its easy to get away with in cali cause everyone does it (sunny as hell.) where as you get out of the West and more to the MidWest and Eastern regions tinting stands out like a sore thumb.

i mean the front drivers side and passenger side windows.

I would never put tint on the front windshield, unless it was like on my prelude where it didnt have the factory tint across the top, then that is legal, but it cant only be a certain length from the roof. The Cl's have that tint from the factory so i didnt bother to check the legal length, but i think it can be as dark as you want.

Ive read of one or two people that have completely tinted their whole windshield and i think that is very unsafe. Unless youre driving around like a competiton show car that wont be driven around, its just not a smart thing to do.

Sunshield is probably the best in the Valley. I had mine done there, and many of my friends as well. Can't beat the lifetime guarantee.
