where did you go in LI and how much did they ask for? if you dont mind.
i lease my cars and had my last car tinted, then ripped it off when i returned the car. i want to tint my tl, but dont want to go thru the hassle of installing the felt. but $30 extra isnt that bad.
i guess if the felt has to be done, then i'll pass on the tints. there's no other quick fix solution. did they take your door panel off to install the felt?

Actually, I doubt about this, too. Years ago, we never tinted our driver side window in LA... 'cause we didn't want to risk ourselves to get more trouble from cops.
Is it changed now?

Sounds good to me. Smithtown, 50% Lumar film, $190, felt installed... Should we mention your name...

You had to order the felt yourself first right? Tint shops doesn't usually carry that stuff. I saw a thread saying that the felt is like $17.00.
Installation for $190 w/ felt is a pretty decent deal! Usually you can get it for like $150 w/o the extra felt installation, so $190 is about right.
What exit is Smithtown on the LIE?
Thanks for the information.

How mush were those wheels and tires?
They look great.
They would look nice on silver.
People have recommended getting the one piece knockoffs because I live in the northeast and will probably have to replace a few.
Let me know..
Thanks
