Default Window tinter recommendation .....

Can anyone recomend a window tinter in the Philadelphia, Philly burbs or South/Central Jersey? I live in western Montco west of King of Prussia. Willing to travel to have a good job done....

After doing a search, I am thinking 20% for the sides and rear. also I have a coupe with a acrylic top. can this be tinted ?

Thanks

Post your question over in the Northeast section for better response.

And no, your top cannot be tinted.

Default See examples first.

I had the windows tinted in a Firebird last year by one of the best detailers in the Pittsburgh area. I was not satisfied because things seemed to be distorted when looking out the windows. Things looked a little blurry. I used a 20% tint, very light. I think if it were any darker, it would have been more distorted. If you find an installer in your area, ask to see some of his work on a car that has been done. This may change your mind about doing it. I am sure they all can't be as bad as mine was but it is worth checking out first.
