the perferred image in redwood city.

got my accord done there for $200 + tax, 4 doors + rear. the good thing about them is they actually took out my rear quarter window to tint the whole thing instead of leaving that little corner untinted. i'm sure they will do the same for the TL and get the whole glass instead of leaving that gap on the rear edge (of course ask to make sure).

My friend's brother works there. I would recommend you go somewhere else though. Check out Best Image in San Mateo.

1007 S. Railroad Ave.
San Mateo, CA 94402
(650) 287-2600

Ask for Frank. My brother had his G35 coupe done there for $150-180, I forgot the price but it's around there... so for a TL it should a little more than $200. Good tint shop.

"A Shade Darker" in Santa Rosa. They do excellent work with clear bras and window tinting.

anybody want to get their car tinted? I have a pretty decent quote for two cars (225 including moleskin) but if we can get more people, we can probably get even more of a discount. Let me know

Sure, but I have a few questions first...
Which tint place? Matallic or non-matallic? Brand?
