Anyone in NoVA get tinting for their BMW? I'm considering ceramic tinting to reduce heat but I don't want the tint to affect cell phone or other radio signals. I can't seem to find a local dealer that does ceramic tinting.

Ah, I just re-read your request. You're looking for a Huper Optik dealer, duh! I have got to read better. Anyway, the only one I found was in Waldorf, MD - Too Intense Windows. They're 40 miles from McLean, so I passed on Huper Optik and chose Formula One.

Thanks. Yeah... I have shades now on my E39 and they're great for blocking light but they do nothing for heat. I don't think I want a dark tint but if I can cut down on the heat a little I'll be happy. I'm not 100% set on it yet. I might try LA Tint and see what they have. I know I don't want a metalic tint so the ceramic tint seems like a good option. I might give the NCC site.
