ooooo clear bra for the windshield...I'm getting a new windshield and want protection. How much do you charge for the product and installation?
Where in Balmer are you? Do you make house calls? I live in Severna Park.

Is that for the entire MINI, or just for the windshield?

I sent a PM also...no answer back, yet. Solar, where in Laurel? Since I'm having a new windshield put in Friday, I'd like to make an appt. for Monday to get the new glass protected ASAP.
So, can I make an appt. please?

Tinting MINIs is usually $100 for legal tint (a bit more the darker you go). $20 more for the sunroof. Plus more if you want the top of the windshield tinted.

Carlos is a one man tint shop so it can be a while for him to reply between working. There are other folks there that do other work though.
Stereos, alarms, air suspension (and train horns).

If you don't get your car tinted now you can wait and have it done @ MOTD (if your going) he will be there. Working beside Mike of AC.

Just spoke with Carlos - His home computer crashed and he didn't see your emails un til this morning. He has a rush job in the shop right now - but promised to get back to everyone as soon as it's out the door.

not being able to put my windows down for the entire weekned would drive me NUTS. I think a lot of people may be in the same boat at the dragon.

I'd ask Carlos but I know he can make the time for curing much quicker, possibly hours.

well, it's done. My car was the 1st MINI he's done, so I was the guinea piglet.
Took 3 tries, but in the end Carlos prevailed. There are some tiny imperfections, but he gave me one of those scrapey thingies so I can work on those. Y'all can have a look-see at the next event I attend...or at the Dragon.

Awesome! I look forward to checking it out, and seeing how well it works in comparison to the "Diamon-Fusion" treatment I have on mine. If the Clearplex is as good as it sounds, it's a MUCH better value for money!
