My buddy used Engler Brothers Auto Parts in Santa Monica to do his heads (assuming they still do heads) from his audi and they did a great job, though they're not too local for you (or me either anymore). Unfortunately they don't machine engine blocks iirc

There is Vellio's machine in Redondo, RS Machine in Norwalk. Ali's Machine in Signal Hill.
These days, they have window film that you can see right through yet blocks most of the UV rays from the sun so I doubt you will be bothered unless you go dark."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

If I were to get tint again, which I've been thinking about, because black vinyl seats + california sucks, I'd just go light tint to save myself the trouble and money.

I had that car around 2009-10, so I guess this could be considered a time before e30s were looked at as a "classic," but either way mine still looked like shit. It was a calypso with shit clear coat, a euro front plate, loud as shit, super low and had an arab dude with long hair driving it. haha
I'm sure if you drive a clean e30, like yours, it would be a different story today.
Shit, the other day I got stopped WHILE pumping gas in my car for not having a front plate.. Some cops just look for a reason to check on you.. but, in their defense, you're required to have a front plate out here, so I can't complain. Point is, a cop can pull you over for having tint if he wants to.
