Default Window Tint Recommendation

Im getting my windshield replaced tomorrow so I need to get the brow tinted again. Any1 know a decent place to get my car tinted? When i had my car tinted they had a machine that cuts the film and all the guy did was put it on. Im not sure if every1 does this now. But id like to go to a shop that has that machine. Thx

You might consider getting the entire front windshield done instead of just the brow. Some shops here in MD are doing it and looks good.

What is a good tint for SS?
Is 35% on sides and back too darK?

35% is legal in the back and 50% in the front, but because I don't want to mix and match, I wanted the % to be the same all around.

Thinking about 35% all around, but Fairfax is notorius for window tints and it doesn't help that I work down the street from the court house.

I have 25% all around except front windshield.
Great tint combo with color of car.
Not too dark, not too light.

I think it's 3M or D&L's brand, can't remember which one.
Here's two pics, different lighting in both.
