Default Window Tinting Shop

Can anyone recommend a good shop in the greater Hollywood or Ft. Lauderdale area?

What type of tint and how dark is everyone going?

Thanks in advance.

I believe 35% is legal. Try Phil's shop off 27th and 79th NW. He's a member on the forum. Did a great job on mine and a bunch of other S's here.

Tint world is the best place to get your car tinted. Just go to their site and see which location is closest to you. I recommend a 16% tint and go for their highest quality one. It's the most expensive but well worth it. I personally don't like dark tints anymore. I used to have double layer tints on my previous car w/ a windshield tinted. It was nice for a black sedan, but for an S2000, I don't recommend it. Good Luck!

I used Tint World and have been pleased with the results. I didn't go very dark (50%), since I like seeing out of my windows at night. You get nearly the same UV rejection with a high transmission tint compared to a very dark one.

I use Tint World (and recommended them to CoralDoc in the past). I did all of my windows at the legal limit for the *back* windows, which means my sides are slightly darker than legal.
