They do top quality work. I’ve had all my cars done there and sent my dad, brother, and freinds all there and they all are more than satisfied. Tell him Frank sent you if you go, he’ll appreciate it! They tinted a Lambo before as well as several vipers so don’t feel unsafe about leaving your car there.

5000K are like stock headlights you dolt. Old ass 93 halogens FTL. (Car has projectors) and 35% isn’t even noticable.
