My nephew is looking for a place that does window tinting in the Hyde Park Area or within an hour drive. Suggestions?

Depending on traffic, this should be about 45 min to an hour - the place that we had a tint-event at last year was

Quality Window Tinting
30W260 Butterfield Rd, Unit 211
Warrenville, IL 60555

We've also had members use Umbra in Schaumburg(also about 45min -1 hr)

487 W Wise Rd
Schaumburg, IL 60193

and of course, as you should well know, Pete has a guy!

Hyde park to Warenville is a haul.

Will pm you contact info.

I am a fan of umbra in schaumburg. He has tinted over 10 of my cars. Best quality and he stands behind his work. I wont go to anyone else.

sent from my galaxy s3. that would explain the errors.

Reason I'm asking is, my nephew was at my house yesterday for my Dads funeral. He goes to school at University of Chicago. He bought his car (Mazda 3) with the windows already tinted. His car was parked in the street and he came out with a ticket on his window from the CPD for tinted windows. He said the ticket was marked NO TINT as if any tint on the windows is not allowed. My nephew doesn't know if the tint is the legal limit for Illinois because he didn't do the tinting. My suggestion to him was to take it to a shop and have it measured to see what the tint percentage was, thus the reason for this post asking for a shop he could take it to. I don't know how they measure the amount of tint but would think they have to open the door to do that. If so, not possible for the CPD on my nephews car because it was parked.

The fine is $250. Freaking ridiculous!

Sorry to hear about his ticket but happy to hear he's a UOC student = ) I was just downtown on Thursday for a meeting by Cellular Field I had a parking permit....and low & behold from Chicago's finest parking patrol....a ticket for no front plate it was only $65 but just so aggravating.

Have used Umbra 5-6 times. He does great work.

In Chicago, they don't go by the new state law for tint. They still follow the old rule of no tint on the front side windows (or side windows for 2 door cars)

Last time I looked at a map Chicago was in Illinois. And $250 fine....really? Yet another reason to hate Illinois.

Yes, but they use this wonderful thing called 'Home Rule' so they can apply the law locally overtop of the state....

Starting January 1, 2014 the Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that "home law" violates the Illinois state constitution and is therefore not valid and not enforceable. This ruling took place this week but will not go into effect until January 2014. Just FYI.

Is that only in certain areas then? Cause a lot of y'all have your windows tinted.

Bet they will be issuing a lot of citations between now and the end of the year, then. That should fix the states debt crisis.

AFAIK, just the city of Chicago is like that.
