Smile Tinting in the Seattle area

I recently upgraded my 2002 Acura TLS to a 2005, and am in the process of doing some work to it, ie rims and a few other things. I would really like to get a great tint job, but have no idea who is good in the Seattle area. I am really picky with my TL, and want to make sure I get a pro that will do a good job and take really good care of my ride, especially the insside, since that is where the will be done. Does anyone know a good shop? Thanks

Also, across the street from ACURA Of Lynnwood there is a reputable tint shop.. they did a great job on all the cars I've brought there.. There is like 1 or 2 specialists and they wont work on your car unless one or the other is there to do the install.. I highly recommend you check them out also..

I have called two shops in town: VTR (in mukilteo/everett) and accutint (bellevue). Both have never heard of moleskin and have done "tons" of TL's and not heard of any problems.

Has anyone had their TL done up in washington and can reccomend someone that I can call that knows what I am talking about. I hate to pay $200+ for a tint place that doesnt even know the problem exists.

I DONT WANT MY TL TINT TO GET SCRATCHED!

I will have to look around, but the first thing I want is my ASPEC rims, but I should probably get the tint first, its a hell of alot cheaper!

yea, no kidding tint is a lot cheaper

Let me know if you find anything, otherwise I'll keep you posted on my findings. So far everyone is slightly retarded when it comes to the TL...everything is going against what I am finding on these forums.

yea, just got my TL...two weeks ago

Bone stock...no pics...have two tint appointments setup for saturday and then another on April 29, so I have to figure out which one I am going for.

Any luck on finding someone that is good and knows about the moleskin and Navi issues?

I really like VTR up in Mukilteo they did a good job on my civic, but we'll see...might just go with the moleskin kit and be all good.

I know this one is an old thread, but I need to know your feedback on the tint/s you got from different places. Any recommendation/info is appreciated.

Autotrim

AutoTrim in Tukwila did mine and it seems to be pretty good.
Acura of Seattle recommended them.

I also heard good things about Acutint in downtown Seattle.
