Default Any good place to get tints?

Hey, I'm deciding to get window tints on my Z and I was wondering if anyone one knew any good places to get it done that does a good job for a great price? What percentage tints do you recommend for a black Z? =] thanks in advance

I got 30% tint at Fresh Designs...30% is a good balance..not dark enough to get pulled over, but still darker than the legal limit.

This is what 30% looks like...

+1 for 30% w/lifetime warranty @ Fresh Designs!! It's functional too - made a big difference with lower heat when my Z is basking in the sun.

I hear that hardcore street racers tint their windows super duper black because they don't want the guy who's racing them to know their true identity, is this true?

+ 1 for CarToyz2. I just picked up my ride from Arthur and co. yesterday. I dropped it off for the Viper 5900 but decided that since he is running a special on the tints for our cars why not treat myself to another xmas present 35% all around came out fantastic!

Car Toyz 2 in Rockville. They do excellent work and stand behind everything they do. Do a search for their name on here you will read other peoples opinion.

+3 by Pun1sh3RZ for CT2...wowzers.

Can't really put a vote in here, I got mine done at, yes, I'll admit it, D&L Window tinting. They didn't do a bad job per say, but they also didn't do a good job.

But anywhere from the 20-30 percentile should be awesome!
