Call LA Tint in Alexandria, ask for Archer.

hoypolloi

Call Brent @ Quality Tire (703)491-9005 and tell him Chris that had the TL now has the RSX sent you. He will take care of you.

I've had Archer tint 4 out of my last 5 cars. And on the one I didn't, I wasn't pleased with the work. LA Tint use Formula One tint. With the top one the line tint for the navi it was $275. If a bunch of you go in it, he should give better price.

hoypolloi

did you have to get the ceramic tint?? ive heard that there is something in metallic tints that can mess with teh navigation

i have about 6 poeple that want to get tint.

JDM5lugHatch

metallic tint doesn't interfere with the Navi. Ran it on my TL for 2 years and never had a problem.

have any of you guys had any problems getting 35% all around without any fuss and/or without a huge price increase? i remember walking into la tint over in sterling and they wouldn't do anything other than the legal limit (50/35). but a few years earlier, my buddy got his civic tinted 35/20% at the same place.

I've had mine now for a few months with 35% all around and no problems. I got it done at the Tint Shoppe in Woodbridge for 265 (2 cars, a friend and mine) using the 3M Carbon tint (apparently the best they offer). The job is pretty good, but the only issue is the rear quarters were not tinted all the way behind the rubber molding. I'll just live with it for now.

jupitersolo

Yes I have ceramic tint. No problems. If you want to tint 35 or other all around call Archer. I did my legal. I'm told old to be fighting the law.

JDM5lugHatch

Yeah Quality Tire owns The Tint Shoppe. Bent works out of the Quality Tire building. I'd say he is probably the best tinter they have.

I have called several places including LA Tint in manassas, and they do it for $275, but they don't offer the moleskin. I've heard really bad things about TLs and Accords, that the tint gets scratched if you don't put the moleskin. But I called Freeway Tint, and he offers the moleskin, and he charges $260 for the tint, and $25 to put the moleskin on each door, so $360 total.
What do you guys think? Doe the tint actually scratches?, can you put the moleskin yourself?

jupitersolo

I've had a '05 TL and now a'06 TL, The only problem I've had is on the '06. The one line about 6 inches long on the drivers window about 4 inches from the back of the window. I can't see it driving, it's not that bad. I guess I got lucky.

JDM5lugHatch

Freeway Tint is a good company. My friend Theo owns that business too. I forget about him at times because I haven't seen him in about a year or more. He might give you a discount if you tell him I sent you.

Would you be interested in a 7th? I'm looking to get mine done and if it helps everyone else get a better price, all the better.

bigsley18

shoot! how 'bout an 8th? my moleskin has just been sitting in my room collecting dust.

hoypolloi

hmm looks like i gotta do more research on this tint business. what is moleskin about? and is ceramic the best tint? what companys make ceramic tint and which is the best? so many questions so little time. can anyone help me out?

novawrv

I would 2nd Quality tire in Woodbridge. They did a GREAT job. I have 35% ceramic 3M all the way around, and I havent been hassled at all.

treyd82

Go to Quality Tire in woodbridge, Brent is the man, hell you can just drop your car off and walk to the mall.

hoypolloi

how much did you guys pay? did you guys get ceramic?

bigsley18

any other of you quality tire/tint shoppe guys experience the rear quarter window problem as xavier25 mentioned?

dmartin33

I had mine done at LA Tint in Manassas. $245.00 for 35 all around. They would not give me a receipt and I had to pay cash because 35 on front in illegal in VA. ???? They will still warranty it. Good guys and did a good job. I wanted them to go under the seal around the small rear widows and they did without a problem.
