Best tint shop in Baltimore area?
I've used D&L and HP Racing in the past and was less than thrilled with the results. Any suggestions on where else to go or avoid are welcome. TIA.

I've used D&L for 4 cars and have never had a problem. My BRZ was done by Michael Whisman who has a mobile operation called Solar Solutions Mobile Tinting and he has done a lot of FR-S/BRZ. Having a garage to do it in would be nice, but I don't think is necessary. His number is 410-500-2040. He does it all by hand. Pure Automotive in Millersville also has him come to open houses on occasion.

I've only used D&L (Pulaski Hwy) once in 2009 and they were very busy that day. My only complaints were that they left the car very wet with tint trimmings everywhere (despite being pre-cut) and several flaws (large bubbles & creases) that I had them correct before I would accept the work. They also talked me into 20% instead of the 35% I asked for initially and I always regretted it when driving at night. $225 for 2 side windows and a windshield strip also seemed a bit steep for less than perfect work, IMO. OTOH, their work was better than HPR's.
I agree about not needing a garage most of the time. Thanks for the info on Solar Solutions. Brady gave me his # way back but I lost it. I'll give him a call and hopefully the weather cooperates. |

I used Iconic Tinting on 40 near Edgewood. $220 for the premium tint. Went with 25% and I am very pleased with their work.
