They do a great job and offer a lifetime warranty. Since 1989 they were in College Park but recently moved to Ellicott City to a larger location. Ask for Doug (Owner). He's a buddy of mine.

If you're ever in the Gaithersburg area then my buddy Cyrus who has a audio, tint shop in old town Gaithersburg will surely hook you up. Just call him at 240-246-0909 and tell him Mike Lu referred you. He will hook you up 100% no questions asked. He did my tint job on my 07 IS and I love it. If you have any questions for me you can hit me up at 202-471-0235 anytime. I hope this helps.

There is a place in PG County I'll have to find the name if interested. Its $99 for any car, well as of a few months ago. CASH ONLY sounds a bit shady but they do a great job AND offer a warranty. They have been at this spot for a very long time and I have had about 4 cars done by them all still look great!

Called them, seem like very nice guys...but both of them use metallic tint, which I'm afraid will interfere w/ wireless signals (ie gps, cell, bluetooth, radar detector, etc)

I guess the $99 is too cheap for everyone. Good luck with your search. Personally anything over $100 to me is a rip.
