I love the Platinum tint. I've had it on all of my cars for the last 5 years. It seems to darken up when overcast and at night, so you can get away with a little darker than legal on sunny days - unless someone in law enforcement decides to check it

I'll probably be doing Platinum again myself

Can you tint the plastic rear window? If so, how hard is it to see out of when checking your mirror or trying to back up?

You *can* tint the plastic rear window; which will help to keep some of the scratches down.

There is one downside though - the tint doesn't stick to the rear window as well as glass windows, so over time it may fall out.

Nobody around here...

This is the only tint worth using. All other tint is garbage. Just use the "locate dealer" link on that site and it'll point you to a few shops in NOVA.

Don't waste your money or time on any other tint.
Is 99.00 a good price to get the driver's side and passenger side done? They are using the ultimate tint.

I got mine done at Just Tint in Hampton for $40.00 (driver's side and passenger side). The guy does great work. He did my Prelude before this car and my sister's old Maxima. I think it comes with a lifetime guarantee. He will only do legal tint but on a S2K with black interior it looks pretty dark.
Any pics?

I had an appt. twice in Richmond last summer to get mine done, but with the traffic and such in the summer time, I never made it due to tunnel traffic and road construction.
Would love to go somewhere closer.

From what I hear, they are suppose to be the best around here. I had called them and that was the price he had quoted me. Let me know if you get a lower quote, if you don't mind and which series you are getting. Thanks
