What kind of tint did you guys use with Matt at TNT? I had Huper on my previous vehicle but the shop that installed it was one that specialized in that tint since it is more difficult to work with. What do you guys recommend here? Also, I live in DC so should I stick to the strict tinting laws?

If you've got dc tags ur gonna have to pay cash and bot get a receipt if you go to la tint. It's illegal to put anything on the front door windows and the shops won't always do it. I've been through the process twice. One shop flat out refused even though I wasn't going to need an inspection for 4 years on my new car.

I didn't realize the front was completely illegal. I just saw this:

DC law allows the after factory application of window tinting in motor vehicles (DC Official Code § 50-2207.02),
provided the following requirements are met (Mini-Vans are excluded):
• There must be at least 70% light transmittance (i.e. 30% tinting) through the front windshield or front
side windows; and
• There must be at least 50% light transmittance (i.e. 50% tinting) through the rear windshield or rear
side windows.
However, less than 70% light transmittance is allowed in the windshield above the AS-1 line or within five
inches from the top of the windshield.

For the e92 owners that went to TNT Tint, can you answer the questions below?

Which film was recommended?
How long was the process from start to finish?
What did he do about the dot matrix?
Any effects on electronics?
How much was the cost?
Pictures of tint done?

Since DC, MD & VA have different legal tints limits can you get ticket in, let's say VA or DC if you live in MD and your car is tinted according to MD legal limit? MD legal is 35% and DC legal is 50%.
