Don't Ever Go to D&L Tinting in White Marsh!!!

I got my tint done at Contour Tint out in Chantilly. Guy did a great job, lifetime warranty too in case any air bubbles happen to pop up. Everything is computer cut for an exact match.

Oh, and they quoted me about $100 to do both tails in a tinted clearcoat (just an FYI)

How often do you have to get your car inspected in MD? I got mine done already, my MD tags should finally be here by Tuesday.

eastwest2300 · 02-11-2011, 02:36 PM

I think its just once, but I heard theres an interval as far as your emissions, you have to have that checked periodically. But im not 100% sure.

VA Emissions are every 2 years. MD is probably the same

Yeah, you don't have to have your car inspected in MD after that initial inspection, unless it sits without a registration for a while.

And as for emissions, it's every couple years. They basically hook up a code reader to the car. They rarely put the hose to the exhaust. If you fail, they give you a list of reasons and some time to get it fixed. You can request an extension on the test and I think the repair deadline if you file one.

It's pretty easy, though.

However, if you fail to get your emissions tested over time, they can and will suspend the registration on the vehicle, and that's a nasty-expensive ticket. ~600 bucks or so?

Good, it looks like i'll be safe from inspection troubles. Tinted tail lights is a whole different story

BTW, I'm here at the shop and my car is in the process of getting tinted. Didn't realize how far south this place was. Took like 50 mins to get here from Glen Burnie.

Wow! They tried to kidnap your Z? Unbelievable!!! I'm glad you were able to get out of that scam shop.

They tried to kidnap me AND my Z! I am so happy I got out of there. It worked out better for them too because I would have sued the pants off of them if they didn't give me my keys back. My cousin works for a big law firm in DC

I posted pics of the tint work in my other thread if you want to check them out.

Very good information ShadoQuad, I appreciate that, as do the fellow members on here as well.

eastwest2300 · 02-12-2011, 10:39 AM

Most definitely brother, Im gonna get it done most likely, the beginning of next month. Hey Blade, can you PM me the address to this place, or post it up here, that'll actually be better, and beneficial to all members.
