Tint in Houston

Hello, Just picked up a 135i coupe recently and looking to get some tint. Any recommendations in the Houston area?

Also, not sure if they have been changed recently, but anyone know the minimum legal tint percentages?

Thank you

Texas allows you to go pretty dark. Your side windows can be 25% transmission, but the ones behind you on the side have no restriction.

yeah, it is expensive but worth it for the texas heat. you really do feel a difference in heat transmission / rejection with the windows down/up. huper offers a few different line-ups of tints so be sure to ask which youre getting quoted for.
