Can anybody recommend a good place to get my windows tinted?

I don't really dig tinted windows, but I think my black leather interior is too fragile.

Cheers,

Not in West La, but Torrance. I had Pacific Star Line do it. I went with the 2nd lightest tint, also to protect black interior and keep heat out.
look at the tint shade vs. heat rejection, the 2nd lightest seemed to have the best heat rejection, with the least shading. I think it is 35% shading, with greater than 50% heat reduction. I still cover my car most of the time.
cost me $180.
make sure they use high quality film.

cool i will give them a call.

Just a few hours in the California sun are enough to trash the leather/vinyl. My car is a garage queen but i don't want to take a chance. A very light tint goes a very long way in protecting the interior! The Texas sun was just as bad....

Just realized you are my neighbor, I went to the Hawthorne store becuase i happened to be close by that day, but they have a shop on the SW corner of PCH and Hawthorne also, which is actually much closer to my house.

Just teasing, I know its functional. All my vehicles are tinted except the porsches. I just wouldnt want to tint a p-car or f-car unless i really had to.

A very light tint wont look bad, but a limo tint would look like crap on a 993, just my opinion. However I like the really dark tint on my trucks and suby.

I am in North East Redondo. The store at the corner of Hawthorne and PCH just gave me a quote: $175. I might try them this week.

No worries, I am looking for a very light non-metallic tint.

Huper Optik Film or Pinnacle. Most say Huper Optik is best and for sure has the lightest tint with highest heat rejection.
