    Default Tint on the J30

    Decided to go with 28% tint. Got it done at K&L Glass Tinting in Norcross.

    Looks good. Dark enough for some privacy, light enough to not getting hassled by cops.

    Looks close enough to 35%. Looks great on that car and you definitely shouldn't have any issues with the locals on it.

    for mine they charged $180 for a 4 door. if you go legal they only charge $160. this was the rate at K&L Glass Tinting. others might have different rates also. they also offer a lifetime warranty on their work.

    looks good, K& L has some of the best installs. I have had WINCOS and Formula 1 tint installed and those installers don't even come close to the level of detail of K & L installers. Prob doesn't matter but i notice that kind of stuff on premium tint installs.

    yah the guys there you could tell they knew what they were doing and were relatively quick at it. they didnt mind me being in the shop watching them as they did it. they asked me questions and talked to me about different things as they went along.

    they had to redo my front doors because they cut straight vertical down near my mirrors and it slants out slightly. i had already paid when the manager noticed and he told me they had to redo the front doors and showed me why and they fixed it.

    if anyone is in the buford area id recommend taking it to them.
