Paying $250 for it, which maybe a little steep compared to places where you can pay $150-$200. I've searched the forum and everyone swares by him and the job that he does. I also called a couple of the places in the area and Tom seemed to be the most familiar with the 335, the forum, and tinting all together. He also has the life long warrenty, 20 years of experience, and sounded like a great guy. So the extra money is well worth it to me, just for the piece of mind knowing the best is doing it.

I'll let you know how it goes and post some before and after pictures on Monday night.

Yea not to worried about the cops b/c i'll be going 35%, but I have some PBA cards just in case to run through...In my area they don't make a big deal about it for right now...

Tom has his own garage, so as long as you install the tint in a heated garage and it dry's correctly you should be fine...Can't wait to finally get this done as it changes the look of the car totally...

After the tint, i'm putting on my ACS roof spoiler thats been sitting in my basement. Then i'm matching all the lights with my xenons (LUX 4's, GP Thunder 6000's Fog's, LED Front & Side Turn signals, and maybe White LED Back's too). Then to top it off i'm trying to find some 19" Rep M6 Rims. And maybe an intake if someone sells one in the area. Ha Ha talk about the mod bug.

35% are very light. you might as well get 20%, either way you can get tickets for it.
