I am considering getting my car windows tinted. I am thinking of goign with 35% Huber Optiks.

I got a qutoe today for $450. This guy is supposed to be really good and does a lot of work for celebrities in the city.

Here is a link to the website: TheArtofTint.com

Now, do you guys think that $450 is too much for tints or should I go with this guy based on his reputation?


Also, where can I buy the Huber Optik film myself and maybe get someone I know to do it?

I think geography plays a role in pricing. Mine cost $350 in Virginia.

I really like the look of Huber Optik tint after seeing it on a CLS63 AMG..I was quoted $450 as well.

What if you saw Formula One Pinnacle Series tint on a E63 AMG, how would you like that? You know the E is FASTER than the CLS.
