    Hi Medo145: I live in MA. I am planning to get my Highlander tinted with "Tint king in Billerica, MA 01821-3581 ".

    Could you please let me know how much they charged you to do the entire car?

    What about quality?

    Warranty issues?

    What is police insurance?

    BTW, I am planning to get Huper optik 35% done on the entire car except the windshield.

    What do I need to know more before I approach him/

    Many Thanks

    Quality is great, lifetime warranty, i'm sure they would take care of it if there was an issue with the police, but they look like they know what they are doing so there shouldnt be an issue with police.
    If by windshield you mean the front windshield then i don't think you can get that done anyways.

    original quote was $400, after talking to them about the price (as in if they could do anything for me) they offered to do it for $380.

    i mean you definitely get what you pay for...johnson tint last time i checked was on the crappier side but not bad....the thing with tints is if you get shitty tints, after a a year or so, they start to turn blue or purple....llumar and 3m are the two best tint companies...doesnt really matter about the shop itself everybody installs it the same way, and if you bubble every shop that i know at least will fix it for free.

    Thanks all, Special thanks to Medo145 as well.

    Tint king quoted me 400 for Huber optik extreme 50. Is this the same as Huber optik 35 like yours???

    Medo 145 have your bubbles gone after it is cured?

    Friends: I am mainly looking for cooling and protecting inside of the car. I am not bothered about looks at all.I have a two year old and one will be out in some months from now and I want them to be happy in summer.

    Please advice....

    Always tint! 300 is waaaay too expensive. You should be able to get it done at a good shop, with 20% for 200 or less.

    You will not get Huper Optik ceramic tint for that kind of money.

    Mass law is 35% or higher. Don't need a cop telling you to get rid of it after you spend that kind of money on it.

    You can definitely feel the difference in temperature after the tinting. i would assume 50 is the lighter shade if that's what he was referring to.

    bubbles are gone

    Huper Optik will not fade or change colors over time

    Has anyone tinted their front glass? I've thought about a strip to the top but I'm not sure if makes the car feel too "closed in".
