Hi folks,

I'm hoping I can get some feedback on:

1) A tint shop you'd highly recommend in LA area.

2) Which tint you guys choose to go with?

Would I have to stay away from metallic tint (to avoid interference with the antenna on the rear window)?

Back when I use to have my '93 Accord, I went with FormulaONE tint http://www.formulaone.com/ and I thought it was pretty good. I also understand that the weather sealing can sometimes scratch the tint so I should look into something like the moleskin?

I'd greatly appreciate any advice/recommendations you can offer.

 

California tint on rosemead & valley
35 front 25 back
Fight on!

 

Wow, 26 reviews on Yelp and all good. Thanks for the heads up on this shop! It's a drive but sounds like it'd be worth it.

 

I cant vouch for california tint, but everytime i see one of these threads on any forum, theres always a recommendation for california tint. only thing is ive heard they are very busy on weekends, so plan ahead

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'm fortunate enough to not have to work on Mondays so I should be alright.

Anyone know if Moleskin is recommended? Preferred? or case-by-case basis?

 

Moleskin is a must 100% of the time.

 

Alrightie then. If it's highly recommended, then I might as well do it right. Moleskin ordered.

Thanks again.

 

+ another for CA Tint. They do FANTASTIC work.

 

just took my car in to california tint about 1 1/2 months ago to get my windows tinted and they did an awesome job! unfortunately i was one of those guys who decided to take my chances and laid off on the moleskin and ended having my front 2 windows with couple scratches within that month. took my car back in last week to get mole skin on all four windows.

 

I've had my windows tinted without the moleskin for three months now, and I don't see any scratches.

How bad are the scratches? Are they very visible?

 

they arent that bad, you wouldnt be able to tell unless you were looking at it really hard

 

when you guys went back to cali tint...did you use their moleskin or did you purchase it online? i'm also trying to figure out how to relieve some of the pressure from the weather strip onto the window

 

Had my baby done at CA Tint about 2 months ago.
Had 'em add the moleskin to all four doors. It was only $10. per door extra!

 

I hope they don't mind installing Moleskin I bought off that groupbuy link from tintprotector.com.

 

i don't think they will install it for you as it's not from him. but it's so easy to diy. if you can change your own oil you can do this
