    since i'm pretty much still new to GA, i was wondering if anyone could fill me in on a few affordable tint shops in this area.

    TIA!

    110-130 maybe...I think I paid 110 a couple of years ago...scratched one of the sides last year and they redid it at no charge.

    i went to K&L and got my tint done at 35%.
    now, i've never had tint before on any of my previous cars. is it expected for there to be some imperfections in the tint and laying of the tint?...or should everything come out perfect with no haziness, blotchiness, etc?

    the viet guy did them, and i think the older dude that looks like he owns the place, helped too.
    here are some pics...i'm not sure what level of perfection to expect esp bc i'm a pretty anal person. the pic of the passenger window has like a this scarring line and surrounding that line is blurriness. excuse the low quality pics...my only cam of the moment is my iphone

    The top pic is not perfect but I doudt they will redo it just for that. IMO, those look typical on alot of tint jobs cause of the location on the window.

    You can try to get rid of those bubbles with a plastic squeegee or a credit card if you don't feel like taking the trip back to them.

    Not sure about the last pic.

    Lulz what Bump. This place is nearly 5 minutes from my house.
    How long does it usually take to get the tinting done? I'm tired of opening my door and feeling a huge WAVE of HEAT!

    Should take about an hour or so for a professional to do your tinting.

    Thanks for posting this review, droobydoobydoo.

    Just got my wife's Forester done.

    Devon did a great job. He arrived at my place of work exactly when he said he would, borrowed the car for 2 hours, and returned it with perfectly-applied window tint.

    That looks like the tint job you get for that price. However the bubbles would bother the hell out of me. Have you at least contacted them to ask about it?
