Reputable Tint in So Cal ?

Sorry I had to post again, I know some of you already asked about his in the previous post. but unfortunetly I can't find it. and I have to find a good tint shop for my girl friend's new MDX. any suggestions ?

I think last time you guys mentioned a tint shop that was good in Anahiem or Irvine, what was the name for that tint shop again ?

thanks for helping.

BTW, I'll post some pictures tomorrow of me and my girl friend's car.

wow $120 sounds pretty decent and they have a location at Valencia, close to home; i'm looking for a smoke metallic look. Do the Forumla One install guys remove any of the windows?
Cuz i'm tryin to avoid that at all cost.

Another good suggestion here. It's called The Tint Shop located at 9558 Valley Blvd. Rosemead. I have them tinted my back three windows for my 95 Accord for 2 years already and still looks extremely good. The price is $59 for three pieces and $89 for 5 pieces. But since your girlfriend's car is MDX, then I don't know how much would it cost. You may ask, the phone number is 626-282-8468.

Talk to Robin at Visions in Anaheim, off Tustin Ave & La Palma. I've had 2 tint jobs by Xlnt tint and 3 from Visions.

Visions uses multi-metal alloy tint, Xlnt uses titanium (single metal). Multi-metal has less "shine" so it's a lot more subtle. They also match factory tint, if so desired, by using dyed tints.

Visions is my personal preference.

btw - ruro, did we meet on tuesday night at Canyon Acura?

Speaking of which, what's up with Canyon Acura? New owners, eh? My friend tried to get a CL-S today...they had a used silver CL-S w/ navi/spoiler and they tried to sell it for $32k!!!!

I promptly directed him to Tustin Acura. Dunno if he got it or not, I'll give him a call...

Iridium130, when did you ICQ me ? I still haven't recieve your phone number.

jaybee, have we met ? last Tuesday ? I'm not quite sure. are you the guy who traded in his TL for a new white Type-S ? and also forgot to take his shirt out from the TL so almost accedently sold his shirt with his TL ?

damn dude !! I gave you the wrong URL ! they changed it somehow. anyways, nice to see you here !! haha ! how did you find this site ?

as for my girl friend's MDX, she got it from Canyon Acura for 40,500 with wheel locks and mud guards. And I think it's a killer deal ! so she bought it. Say Iridium130, If your friend still haven't buy the car yet, tell him to go back to Canyon Acura again. tell him to go to the sales person named Gordon Jewell. tell Gordon that you were reffered by Chun-Fu. I'm sure your friend will get a killer deal too.

BTW, I think the new owner is really nice though.

Ruro, you aren't logged on ICQ right now so I didn't bother sending it to you....oh well I'll just leave a message for you then. I bought my CL-S from Canyon Acura too. I bought mine from Jim Pendleton, pretty nice guy. For only $40?! My friend said that they were selling for over $44 because of markup!!

I just ICQed you.

Tustin Acura is a joke. They are a 1/2 mile from my house, and I'm not going back. They wanted 32,500 for the cl-s navi and offered $22k for my trade. And this was the deal offered to a former customer! (I bought my '00 tl from them.)

i ended up at canyon for just over 30k plus $2k more for the trade. I bought mine from Jim Pendleton also. Very nice guy. They gave me cash for my tl, $1k extra for the wheels, and half off a cl spoiler in exchange for my original tl wheels.

ruro- yes that was me who almost left my clothes in my trade. But don't say I lost
my shirt on the deal! I'm a happy new owner!

Glad you stuck around to rap w/ me while I was waiting for my ride, and thanks for introducing me to the msg board.
