I get my tint done at Sam's Stereo in Leesburg. I have been going to them for installs and audio stuff for the last 7 years. They are the ONLY people in my area that I TRUST. The only problem is that they only do tint jobs on Mondays and its a another person outside of Sam's that does the tint. But I have had my 02 Sentra Spec-V, My 01 CL, and my gf's TC tinted there without any complaints. I paid about 200 for 35% all around on my CL. ANother good place that I have HEARD (not gone to) is L.A Tint.

Cruising in ATL!!
I don't know if this is going to help you guys, but I'll say it anyway. I know a great place in ATL. Called bunch of dealers to see who they recommend and came across this guy in duluth area. Got my CL, friends' 03 Altima and 03 Inifiti Sedan for 420 total. We all got 20 % tint and it looks great. All three of us have black interior and Altima is Black exterior so that even looks better. The thing about CL is our back windshield has dots in upper area. This guy actually spray-painted from inside so from outside it looks pitch-black. Wish I can put up some pics for you guys, but I dont' know how. Let me know if you are willing to travel and get this done.

Georgia is a hike for us! Anyway, I think L.A Tint will do a group discount. I think they will do illegal tint for our area but I dont think at that point they wont warranty the tint even though I heard they do a great job. Dont bother calling them asking to do anything under 35%, you have to show up in person to ask. They wont give too much info over the phone because you could be a cop calling and seeing if they do Illegal tint duh. LA tint is located in sterling by the way. Couple of miles down the road from Dulles Airport.

I know great one in Fairfax. Price is little high but quality is the best. If there's a group buy, i'm in too. I currently have 20% all around on my black cl, and i got 3 tickets in 6 months. I'm definitely taking them off and redo it for 35% all around. There's also one in Centreville. (They have $190, $220, $250 for CL depends on tint quality) I haven't done it there but asked when I got a ticket.

I already have tint on my car, but I suggest that you people organize how many are gonna get tints, then call LA Tint for a price qoute for the number of people you get together. I remember when I was gonna get mine done with two other friends the were offering a pretty good discount. (Dont remember the exact amount off.) But I know that LA Tint can do all different kinds of tint and what not.

This thread was very helpful. My only concern is that if I were to get 35% tint on top of the stock tint wouldn't that cause some problems with the police? By the way I would be in for getting some tints with a group once my B-day rolls around$$, like early may.

ok anybody from the nova area who wants to be in on this group buy post here or PM me. lets try to get something together soon ( 2 or 3 weeks). im guessing if we have at least 5 or so people wanting to get tints we'll get a really good price -- $ 100 per person =)))
#15
im definately down for this.
my only problem is i have to get my tint removed.
when i bought my car the owner had some really weak tint on it and it has some scratches.

im saying.. it wont be 100 for sure.. but if we have a lot of guys trying to gets tints im pretty sure the price is going to be very resonable.. even 150 each person is good

I've taken 4 cars to California Tint not to mention all the referrals I've sent them. They do an excellent job. I go to their location in Great Falls (they used to be located in Tyson's where MVC now resides) http://www.californiatint.com/ They will to illegal tint but they charge you a bit extra. I had them put a slightly metallic tint called cool chrome on my 03 SSM TL-S they did a wonderful job. Ran me $220.
You can check them out here http://www.californiatint.com/

I just got my tint done at "tint shop" on rockville pike, it next to the
Rockville Carmax.....they did a good job I do have some of those black dots on the rear windshield but I think I am gonna try to spray paint it, that seems like it might work.....I paid $125, but it was "HOOK-UP"
![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
And my friend put 35% tint on his windows.....and he got a correction ticket in MO County went to the state trooper barracks and failed....he had to remove his tint....because with your dealership tint makes it less that 35%....true story....I put 20% no prob......so far....

LA TINTS seems like the place and since everybody agrees lets go ahead and do it. ill wait a few more days for more CL owners in the nova area to post. give me a call at 443 567 9697 i live in fairfax also. one of these days we should all have a road trip to LA TINT =P. so PM me, post here, or give me a ring. ill write down everyones info and ill give LA TINT a call and we will definitely set something up. till then lets dream about our tints gents.

ok i called both places. LA TINT wants 200+ per car which is insane when I told them 7+ people wanted it. California Tints wants 160 per car and an extra 15 for those who want a lil more tint. Lets definitely go with California Tints and the gentleman I talked to on the phone seemed much more friendler (doesn't really matter but the guy from LA TINT didnt seem to care if i had 7 cars or 100) anyways call me at 4435679697 so we can do this within the next couple weeks.

Safety Car
Hey guys, don't know if this will help..Everyday on my way home I pass this new tint place that just opened up on Route 7. If you are going west bound coming from Tysons corner towards Reston, it is on the right hand side, in between the 7-11 and Dahtsun Dynamics right before the route 7/Baron Cameron intersection. I don't know the name, but if any of you live in the area you might want to swing by, see how much they charge.
