Need tint in NoVA

Hey I'm looking to get my car tinted as soon as possible. I'd like a local place near Fairfax, Vienna or Arlington. Anybody have any suggestions? I can't seem to find much online.

Thanks,

Sasha

I attempted to help.. but came across two problems.

1. It seems most people on the east coast are new the inter-web and have no idea how to set up a forum.

2. No one in virginia seems to get their windows tinted.. ever.

I found this: http://forum.nccbmwcca.org/showthrea...highlight=TINT. Not a great find but it was the best I could do in 2 minutes.
I'd suggest doing searchs on local car club forums for region specific info on tinters.

Eh...i hate to say it but their website sucks and that can only mean 1 of 2 things..

1. THey are so damn focused on tinting cars that they haven't had time to focus on the website.

2. They just don't know what the hell they are doing.

...but I think I might give em a shot anyway. Know anybody that got theirs done there, Landon?

Hi all,

Well it's not in VA, but I am very satisfied with the job D&L Window Tinting did for me. They have two locations in the Baltimore area, offer lifetime warrenty and offer an optional 3 year "everything" warrenty. Even if someone picks a hole in it, or pulls it up, they will replace it free.

They can also do some wild custom work. Here is Roxy's rear window. The butterfly is three layers of tint film custom hand cut and layed in.

I had mine tinted at LA Tint in Sterling. They did perfect work. I could not find a flaw.

My car is in the shop, but I could send you closeup photos if you like. Their work makes the tint look like factory work.

LA Tint of Sterling.

I think is was the Ultimate tint and 50% front-sides and 35% rear and rear-sides.

Car was dirty when I took the closeup shots but they give you an idea of the quality of work.
