Hey Arjun, do me a favor. If you know the guy well at LA Tint, if you can tell him about the National G Club - how we have over 80 peeps signed up on the website and mention that you're all in the club.

Ask if they wanna be a sponsor of the club and if possible to give a discount to National G Club members. Its worth a shot at least. I'd think we can give them pretty good business if they do a good job.

Dot matrix is on the rear windshield at the top. You'll notice that tint doesn't stick on there. Some tint shops will still tint right over it and can get by. Others will have bubbles remain around that part. I've seen some that dont even tint over that part and some that do what I do (paint from inside the car over the dot matrix so its all black from the outside.

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.
yeah ... i have already asked him about the dot matrix, he said he would explain to me when i come down to his shop... what he will do about it, he said its more work but he won't charge me extra. i don't think he mentioned paint, i guess there is an alternative?

Pratik, its not La Tint, its this Tint Shop off route 7, i think they are new thats why they are tinting for cheaper. I'll definately ask him if he wants to be a sponsor.

Ryan, i'll call you around 3:45 - 4:00 ... The directions are pretty simple .. just take 7 towards Leesburg .. and its going to be on 7 road side, around where Baron Cameron is. Just keep a look out .. its going to be on your right as your coming towards Leesburg.

Arjunz, do you know if its run or owned by the people from Tint Shop in MD? I was looking at some old threads about places to get tints in the DC Area and that Tint Shop in MD is horrible. http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50497

Yeah, i'd be weary of a place thats new. I'd make sure its a reputable shop and also see what kinda tint it uses. Madico, Huper Optik, Formula One?

Last thing you want is your tint to go bad in a few years into some purple ish.

Then again Byrnie really would drive the Barneymobile

Is it near the Outlet Mall? Right or left side of 7, coming from Tysons? The name of the business is Tint Shop?

Let me know if they are willing to deal on Ceramic. I have been holding out for Huper, but the only dealer in the area is asking an exorbitant amount and refused to deal when I tried to assemble a group deal last summer.
