Looking for good Window Tinting in Metro Detroit

Anyone on here that has had windows tinted in the Metro Detroit area have any quality recommendations? Northeast side would be best but I'll happily drive a reasonable distance for good workmanship.

I'm sure you want quality tint as well, right?

Thanks, I'll check them out. Looks like I'll have a couple of weeks to decide, car scheduled for delivery on 4/25.

Try Notorious Tintz in Livonia. Every car I've seen from there is flawless with zero bubbles, they are one of the best. Their prices are also very reasonable.

I had my 2011 done at Notorious, best tint job I've had done to date. I've also heard nothing but good things about Ice Nine Customs.

No problem. What are you looking for exactly? I did a lot of research before I had my last two cars done, I might be able to help.

Right now I''m thinking 35% front and maybe 20% for the back. I've never considered it before but I'm really loving the look on some of the pictures I've seen.

One shade all around looks best. IMO

I've got 5% on the sides, 15% on back, and a 6" 5% brow. Looks killer and functional for keeping heat/light out.

I'm with him, going with one uniform shade is a better look from outside. My car has their 15% non-metallic tint from Notorious. Here's a pic from winter after a bath:

I stand corrected. All I can say is wow. The 15% might be what I have to go with.

Sun shade is good, but very expensive if you want anything other than base grade tint.

I'll add them to the list. I'll probably start calling around to get an idea of pricing tomorrow. I think I'm leaning toward Nortorious Tintz. How can I possibly complain about having to drive my car across town.
