Front windshield tint LA/OC
I decided I want to tint my front windshield and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for tint shops in LA/OC area. I got my car tinted at Rich's tint shoppe but he doesn't do windshield tints, only windshield strip.
I was also wondering if there was a specific brand you guys recommend. I was looking at the Llumar air blue 80 and the 3m crystalline 70. Basically looking for something to stop the sun from glaring into my eyes while driving and keeping the heat out. Anyone with their front windshield tinted feel free to chime in! |

I went with Elitetints, $150 for the Llumar Air 80 and I love it. Toby drove out to my office at no charge.
Btw, I did extensive research and found 3M Crystalline to be the best, and llumar came in second. My quotes for the crystalline was way too high and Elitetints gave me the best quote from what I found. I did my entire car with Llumar's CTX (ceramic) at 35% and the Air 80 in the front. Super happy with the Air 80. My arms/thighs never burn in the sun anymore.

G5 Tint.
It cost 100 dollars for Suntek Nano CXP or 3m Colorstable...it goes all the way up to 250 dollars for 3M Crystalline. It DOES block a lot of heat in certain angles, however... it doesn't prevent much glare. If I had to do it again, I would do 40% windshield.

For those of you that have the front window tint, do you see any of the checkered patterns through polarized sunglasses? Are there any issues with glare while driving at night? How long did the tint process take?
