    Good place for tint in the Atlanta area?

    Preferrably the GA400/I-75 areas of the northside, but I'll go anywhere metro for really good work.

    Also, I need a place that's willing to go a little darker than "allowed." :12:

    Any suggestions?

    I took mine to Atlanta tint & detail off Buford highway. Work was excellent and I think I paid $175 for all 7 windows at 35% (rear in 1 pc), which I thought was a pretty good deal. Don't know about bending the rules, but you could always ask.

    I did mine off Jimmy Carter, cant remember the name of the shop, but around $180 w/ 1 piece tint in the back. I also went w/ a much darker tint on the rear and the darkest legal tint upfront. I was glad that I didnt go darker since I got pulled over, the cop asked me to roll down the front window to check for illegal tint, my front was legal, and that was all it matters.

    I got mine done at Custom Sun Controls which is on rte. 41 (cobb pkwy.) in Marietta. They use Formula One tint which has a lifetime warranty.
    If you are out to get an illegal tint, you will want to go elsewhere because they don't do illegal tints. Their work is excellent.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys... I really want to get something a little darker than legal (~20%) but I may go with some legal Formula One since I've heard such good things about it. I guess I'm addicted to that "I-can-see-you and you-can-not-quite-see-me" feeling

    That might be the same place....was it tucked down off the road?? ATLT&D is only 1 block south of JC blvd on Buf hwy. I can't remember if it was F1 tint...but it has a lifetime warranty.

    I got mine done at "Traffic Jams." 32% all around for 180 installed. You can also get it done for 160 there....but i opted for the upgraded tint. The shop is on Pleasant Hill road a little east of Peachtree Industril Boulevard.

    No, front isn't tinted.....just looks a little dark in that picture for some reason. I might of gotten taken but I checked it out on a guy's car that was right outside the store and I thought it looked better than the normal sample in the store. it was just 20 bucks more so......not really a big deal in the long run.

    Hunt Bros. at the corner of N. Decatur and Church in Decatur (near Chris BMW, Atlanta Classic Cars, etc) will do anything you want. a buddy just got 5% all the way around on his car. They messed up my E46 the first time, but fixed it for free a few days later.
