I am thinking about getting my windows tinted.. and I was told this was a good place to go. they use formula one automotive tints.
Anyone has any experience with them?
Thanks.

I had great luck with Executive Tint on Hillcroft. Disregard the $75 crap they advertise to get you in the door. I think my coupe cost about $250ish or so (can't remember exactly) tinted with their better quality stuff that actually has good heat rejection. The installer was very skilled. They were also willing to tint it slightly darker than normal, but without any compliance sticker.

My uncle know a place in humble but not sure if they r strict on the tint

The place I go is in College Station, if ur willing to drive up there...they don't care and its only 14.50 for inspection instead of $30-40? In Houston

If I were u, get 25% tint..it's fairly dark n legal

I know a place in Humble too. My friends place. They do a great job. No receipt if paying cash for darker tint.

You shouldn’t technically be able to inspect your car in a county that you’re not registered in. It's a ticket-able offense. Not saying don’t do it, just warning that if you do and get a ticket, you knew ahead of time. The $30+ range is for counties with over some number of people and it’s for the emissions test, which they dont have to do in smaller counties.
