Is that legal in CA? Any pics? I like their work (they did my bra)...

I'll be picking up samples tomorrow so I'll be able to tell you if they are thicker than normal tint, which I wil also be picking up.

Here is one for you, I have a C2S Cab. Had the windows tinted and now get a squeak sound when the drivers side window goes up and down. It seems to be were the window meets the B pillar felt which is actually the second window as you know. Any ideas on how to fix this?

FYI, Huperoptik is already a tad darker than is legal in Texas--I have it on my 997 S. If you're keeping the car long enough to justify the extra cost, that's what I would recommend. In Dallas you want to go to Protint, 17423 Preston Rd, Dallas, 75252 - (972) 713-6861. They tint lots of Porsches, Ferrari's, etc...for Boardwalk.
