My Experience with Steve's Tint in Upland, Ca

I must say it was a very pleasent trip. All the guys at Steve's tint (Marco helped me out) were very nice and helpful. took about roughly ~2 hours (walked around before coming back) and my beutiful pinnacle 15% tint was on. I think i nearly cried.. Thanks guys! Highly recommended!

I just had 45% tint done at Performance Window Tint in columbia, maryland (also go by "perfect picture" or something like that) and it took only 1 hour and looks fantastic. I got SunTec carbon tint 45% on front rear and rear window. He said the TL already has a %70 tint from factory so 45% was good to keep it legal combined. The car looks fantastic and tint really sets off the white color!

Forgot to mention my tint cost $240 (quoted on the phone and not a penny more when rung up) and it's "Suntek" not suntec. I was happy with the service and quick install time.

I too got my tints done at Steve's tint, and it was a very pleasant experience. As a matter of fact, I believe one of the guys there (maybe Marco) owns a TL of his own as well.

The folks at Steve's use F1 Pinnacle which is a ceramic film. Yea, they've done a bunch of em for members including PPF. I believe this was the original thread.

I got mine done there to. It looks real nice, but now I'm getting sticky crap on the windows. Will probably call them Monday.
