Window Tinting
Dose anyone know of a good tinting shop in Northern VA, MD, or DC? I did a search and nothing came up for that area. I have been quoted $170 all the way up to $350. What is the deal with non-metallic vs. metallic? I’ve heard metallic may interfere with navigation.

Got mine done at California Tint about a month ago. Paid $228 , 30% all the way around - windshield.
Pretty good.
Also recommend checking LA Tint.

I have had 3 of my vehicles tinted by Matt Judy, TNT tint in Alexandria, VA (off the same road as Passport Infiniti). He used MADICO 35% tint, cost was below $200 for my coupe. The tint comes with a lifetime warranty.
Give him a call for a quote. He also uses other kinds of tint film.

That said, it looks like ppl got a good deal with their tint. I went high end and spent $400 on Huper Optik Ceramic. Great tint, no problems! Except the fact that my tint job is almost 3 times everyone elses...
Can I get a$$ with that?
