Bay Area Tint

I'm searching for a place to tint my 00 TL. We really need to, and we've waited to long.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Recommendations on amount of tint too?

Chris,

Do you remember what the TL cost to get tinted? Do you have a pic of 15%?

Thanks for the recommendation, looks like a good place.

Go here!!

I took mines to the Detail Factory in S.F. Cost me about 200-250 I think. But it was well worth it. I think I got 15% all way around.

Real Pros., I would show you my pics but search function isn't working, go here and scroll down to find my car, and u can see tint job,

They're telling me $275, out the door.

I have found a place in richmond that will do it for $180.

I will call Detail Factory tomorrow. Thanks for that.

Davinci27 - car looks good.

I'm really trying to get this tinted for $200 cash, or less.

Wants $320 for the job. Way too high.

Im going to drive over to the place in richmond quoting $180 and see their opperation.

It seems that these tint shops are getting close to $100/hour for their labor. It's on par with a mechanic, which in mind might has A LOT more training. It's just tinting. Arg, where is the $200 places.

Which part of Bay Area are you from? I used Tint R Us for my three vehicles (TLS, Accord and Nissan Armada). They are great. For my TLS, I believe I have 30 front and 20 rear (darker). It cost $250 last time I did it for front side windows, rear side windows and rear windshield.
