Yes you can, i have to go there today and talk to the guy, actually 2 weeks ago .. about 4 of us went to the tint shop and asked the guy to give us a good deal, he started at 180 and we finally made a deal with him for 160, 2 of my friends already got their tints, i have to go there and give my friends name as a reference to get that price. You are definately not going to pay more than 170. if you are really interested, i'll get the guys phone number and post it up tonight, and i'll tell him that you are in on the discount as well.

Other tips to prevent criminals....
1.) Don't blast you're music too loud in your own neighborhood or near it. Even if you don't have an aftermarket system, if you're making enough noise they may think that you have something they can take...
2.) Keep the car tidy. Don't leave jackets, bags and crap in plain view.
3.) sleep with one eye open.... LOL J/K
Remember one thing the person who's breaking into your car could be anyone... it's likely someone who knows you... or sees you around. Sometimes it could be suspicious people with names like Puria .... It could also be a homeless person or drifter who's looking for some change. So if your car looks like there's nothing to steal then they won't break into it. But when you tint your windows you've just increased the chances of getting your **** jacked a good 50 percent. If you were in a parking lot with 50 cars. And there was 10 cars including yours with your windows tinted. Your chances of getting jacked is pretty high.

Is Arjun even talking abotu LA Tint or is it just some guy doing it as a side business?
Note: When getting tints on our cars DEFINITELY ask how they'll paint the dot-matrix on the back. Thats what made me choose my tint shop over others. I got quoted on mine as being 160 all around which is correct but then paid $90 just to have my dot matrix painted from the inside. I do like the look a lot that way.
