Default Windshield Tint in MA?

Looking to get around 50% tint on my windshield to reduce the aweful glare these cars can create. I have my rear at 5% and sides at 15% and t-tops at 2.5%. Never had any trouble from cops yet (knock on wood). Called up Carisma in Lowell who did a fantastic job on my side windows, and they don't do windshield tint. Only the top strip. Where are you guys getting your windshields tinted around here?

I dunno who will do the front, but maybe for the right money.

I bought some pre-cut sheets and did the windows on my envoy myself. You might have that option, should be easy to DIY.

The place I had my TA done might be gone now, but it was kinda shady and they'd probably do it, I don't think I'd want to tint any of my windshield but to each their own.

The place i went to was in Fitchburg before John Fitch hwy. On a side street across from victory auto. I can't remember the name for the life of me, but they do some apholstry and a sunroofs, stuff like that, kinda hole in the wall though. it was cheap but decent, they had to do my back glass in 2 pieces though so i'll probably get that redone at some point.

I think that 3m has a new tint out called the crystalline series.. u can get 40-90%. mainly made for windshields so you can see perfectly out of them and block out the glare and uv rays. dont qoute me on the name but i believe this is there new TINT line that just came out.

he told me if there was an issue to come back ...i am very very picky with my cars and the guy did a very good job. i wouldnt worry too much about peeling or cracking with this guy he has been doing it along time. also as long as you do what he says to do in the first i think 24 hrs or more you should be fine

My buddy Matt will do it for you. He owns AudioWerks in Tewksbury, MA. He did my M5, and does A LOT of cars. All tint is cut via a computer/printer for each vehicle. And he'll stand by it for the lifetime you own the vehicle I believe. Theres a coupon for 10% off on his website. Easy to get to, its right on Rt.38

Tell him Robbie from 3D sent you.
