Tint - Recommended Shops?

Recommended Posts

Thanks for all of the replies. I made an appointment to have it done at Quality Window Tint this Friday.

 

Andy, on the M3, does it have a strip of tint across the top of the windshield? Either way, do you have any shots of the M3 from the front? I'm trying to decide if we should get that strip put across the windshield or not.

 

And, Bryan (aka [ i v i ]), that's seriously jacked up about Accurate Tint - thanks for the warning about them, and sorry to hear that you had that experience.

 

Eli - no problem, homie. We're all busy. :cool:

no front strip. No good images head on of the car either for some reason...???

 

If you're still undecided on % you want the invite is still open to come see the 50% and 35% side by side.

LOL - there's no such thing as as a bad image of that car, regardless of the angle. It's sex on fucking wheels. :cool:

 

Yeah, I'm thinking 50% may not be enough and she'll want to go with something more along the lines of the 35%.

 

Thanks again for the offer to come by - we may end up doing that. I'll give you a call beforehand if we decide to head that way.

The front stripe is :marc:

 

Really? I wasn't sure of what the majority of people thought about the stripe. I don't really care one way or the other, but the girl thinks it needs to be there. Should she think differently?

 

So, people, weigh in - stripe or no stripe across the windshield? Gay or no?

I got 35% on my car and love it. Not too dark or too light.

 

I actually like the stripe. Since when is the stripe gay? Keeps the fucking sun out of your eyes.

The stripe has kinda developed a bad image due to it being the "ricers" trademark.

 

That said, I always get it, I find it very useful. Sun visors are never big enough. Usually you put something darker such as 20% on the strip, to get the most out of it.

 

If you are tinting for looks, avoid it... If you are tinting for privacy and/or function, get it.

strip is a personal prefrence. I have had them on past cars but will not be able to put on on the 3 due to the dot matrix on the front window plus I don't think it will look right. As for the % of how dark to go if its going on the vette I would say 50%. reason being with a dark colored car with dark int and a small/smaller overall cabin it will look alot darker. When I get home tonight I will post a pic of my truck so you can see what I mean.

We used Quality at work all the time since they are next door. I also used a place called accurate window tinting right down the street. I think that guy is the shit. Faster turn around time, cheaper, explains and shows why he is better, lifetime warranty and is all around a great shop.

 

He is always busy but usually puts our cars through quicker than Quality. Also he runs the shop himself so he doesnt work an 8-5 schedule. If you want John I can IM you his number and you can tell him Clark told you to call. maybe even get it in quicker and cheaper. Just a thought.

Just to give you an idea of what 15% all the way around looks like. And yes, it is illegal. Wife's car.
