hey guys.. im wondering if any of you people who live in so cal can help me out by telling some GOOD tint shops.. and about how much tint i should put on because im not sure how much will be illegal and all that stuff.. thanks in advance!

 

Go to VIP tint in temecula... friends of mine own the shop.... tell em Alex from SD sent ya. They did mine for 230 all windows... I did 20% all around... but its your call what ever shade you want to do... Good luck

 

umm well SO CAL is a big area it would help if you said around where. But other than that I took MY TL-S to a place in North Hollywood called Extreme Auto and got em 15% all around. Oh and there is no legal tint for the front. But i still did it. 8185068034 that the # and its going to run you around $150 and theyre very good tints. They give a lifetime warranty.

 

ahah my bad.. hmm anywhere around rowland heights to cerritos

 

Its in murrieta who do you know over there?

They do awesome work, anything you do on the front windows is illegal, so my theory is why not go dark, its a ticket either way?

 

AUTOMEDIA & TINT is my choice for window tint in the Inland Empire area, Corona to be specific. Their address is 416 West 6th Street, Corona right off the 91 Freeway. They've been on Speed Vision and do custom stereo work for many manufacturers. Talk to Bobby the owner and tell him Eugene sent you and he'll give you the good guy discount. (Of course they tint the small quarter panel window all the way to the edge.) Have a wide variety of shades and composites. I recommend going with their Johnson Greystone film, lifetime warranty film that does not affect the navi/radio antenna reception. Check them out! Phone # is 951-808-8889. Make sure you tell them Eugene sent you. I've got my custom fosgate system done by them, fiberglass enclosure, 3Sixty.2, Nav convertor, etc.

 

did they install moleskin? did you ask them to install or they had prior experience with TLs so they knew they had to install moleskin? how many types of tint do they offer?

They were at $220 in July with the moleskin. Highly recommended through out this site. Do a quick search in the forum and you will see. If you call ask for Carlos.

did you get your tint there?? and thanks for everyones input

 

yes I take all my cars there to get it tinted.

 

I went to Cal Tints up in Rosemead ... place always have customers and did an AMAZING job! They have 3 brands of tints and 5 grades of each. I got mine 35% front, 25% back PLUS moleskin on all 7 windows for $160 cash (no tax). BEST OF ALL, LIFETIME WARRANTY (as with most places or SHOULD). They said that if for any reason you have to REMOVE the tint or want a new grade, they will do it for FREE as long as you bring your original receipt. This is GOOD especially if you happen to be unlucky enough to get pulled over and a cop tells you to remove your tints. You can remove them, show it to them, and put them back on FOR FREE!!! Most of my friends who have Bimmers go to this place and was how I was recommended:

California Tint, Inc.
4325 N. Rosemead Blvd.
Rosemead, CA 91770
P: 626-287-2321
F: 626-287-2630

They open at 9am and the process takes about 45 mins tops. Wait time varies on the day you go and at what time. It's right across the street from Rosemead High School and is between Lower Azusa and Mission on the left side of the street driving north. Here are some PICS as I know EVERYONE loves PICS!!:

What to look for while driving:


The shop area, they have 4 garages where they do tints and install alarm systems; many people working on my car at the same time:


My car after it was done

 

wow doesnt even look like you have tint on the front...

and i can vouch for automedia and tint, my friend went there in his mr2 turbo and they did an excellent job.

 

FYI: I live right by here but Carlos told me he doesn't go any darker than 35% in the front. So if you're looking to go darker, you gotta go somewhere else.

 

ok i found a place where my cous got his tints n they are going to only charge me $110 so .. lol and i have a question about tints.. hmm i heard that its best to get moleskins..can someone explain to me what EXACTLY does moleskin do?.. thanks!
