Does anyone have a good recommendation for a window tinting in Houston?

Has anyone had this done by a BMW dealership? What were the results?

When I saw the demo, the windows were not very dark at all.

I recommend looking at window films first, then finding an installer for it. I use and recommend Llumar CTX ceramnic, about 15% better at heat rejection than a comparably dark dye film. It will not interfere with radio signals or radar detectors. Llumar ATC dye film has lifetime warranty, and many reputable installers will give their installation lifetime warranty because Llumar stands by their films. Llumar will actually pay the installer to replace any defective film via the lifetime warranty.

Go with dye if you want dark (less than %35. Go with ceramic if you're more concerned with heat rejection.
