Default Best tint shop around Clear Lake?

As the title says.

Also, how much should I expect to pay, and what's the legal limit for tint?

Back when I asked, a lot of people recommended me Pablo Blue off of Nasa I believe. Might wanna check them out. From what I've heard, they're really good and just sent a friend of mine there not too long ago, but he did say they were a bit expensive. $65 for the front 2 windows on a Nissan Murano.

Doesn't seem too bad, price wise. I think someone mentioned him to me once, I'll give him a call.

When I just bought my SS new back in Dec. 2000 this guy Dan Sears was at MTI tinting a few cars. I got him to tint my car at my house, and it turned out great. Here's his business card:



BTW- I still have that tint on my car almost 5 years later.

Peace,
Craig.
