New Acura TSX Tint
Hey guys,
I have reading this forum for the last 2 months, and i Finally bought a 2005 ACURA TSX, AT, carbon gray. I gotta say tis forum has really helped me in purchasing my baby, and learning a whole lota stuff about the TSX. this is a great site.
Just have a question, I was thinking of tinting my Acura TSX, i live in SE michigan. Does anyone know of a good professional tint place where i can take my car to. I have seen some problems wiht the acura tint, so i just wanted to get a good tit. Thanks, guys.

i've had 3 cars done there so far, and they are the best.
did you get your car from Acura of Troy or Suburban? or Jeffries?
Hope your tint comes out good, I'm going to do mine soon also. Waiting on the mole skins to arrive. Have fun

I did check out sunshade. I talked to him for a couple of mins, and i asked him about the moleskin, and at first he had no idea what they were. Then i had to basically tell him what a moleskin was, and all the other fun stuff. So, after this, he's like ah sure, i can do it. it just seemed a litle shady, but i'll give him another look if u say so.
Other than that, loving my TSX, great fun, great times.

for some reason, their film is extremely scratch resistant. my brother's TL's been tinted for about 2 1/2 years now, and no scratches. he, of course, didn't use moleskin.
i talked to the guy at sunshade about moleskin, too, and i got the same response.
they also gave me a bottle of tinted window cleaner, which helps with scratching, too.
i don't have moleskin on my 3G TL, and so far, not a hint of a scratch.

or If you live in a sunny state such as cali or florida or arizona...etc...... Pay for the good films! Film doesn't last as long in those states so make sure you get a warranty!
Also! A heads up for anyone getting their windows tinted during the colder months. Give the tint shop a bit more time to do your car, it will pay off in the end! We need more time to heat up the tint/glass since it wont dry as fast in the cold.

My previous job was IT supervisor for a film manufacturer. While I do not claim to know everything about the films, I learned a little. (trying to call in some old favors to get my new TSX done) I will 2nd CJams. You ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for. I wouldn't do the $85 film job on a POS used car, much less a new Acura. My. 02.

I'll be tinting my windows as well as soon as my '06 TSX arrives. I want to make sure that I avoid the metallic based films based on comments I read on how that can affect the GPS receiver. What would you all consider to be the best ceramic based film?
