Anyone know of a good place to have tinting done in Southern California? Preferably in South Orange County somewhere.

Thank you in advance.

aterrifictint.com . I'm going this saturday, and they specialize in cars that get scratched tint from the plastic liners on the inside (MB, 04TL) etc. Cost is slightly more, about 200$ for the job.

I can second A Terrific Tint in Mission Viejo. They did an excellent job on mine.

I'm getting mine done today at Terrific Tint. How dark did you go on your windows? I'm going 35% front and 15% the rest of the way around.

I haven't had a chance to go down there yet but I do plan on using them. Let me know what your experience was like. If you can, please put up some pics too!

I will let you know what I end up doing. Hopefully, I can get down there tomorrow or Friday to decide and schedule an installation appointment.

We didn't really talk about %-age of tint - he had five shade levels of tint, and said that basically the second lightest would probably not get me stopped (though illegal in CA in the front), but the next darkest could easily get me stopped in their experience. The 4th and 5th levels were approaching limo tint...

I stopped by A Terrific Tint today and the guy there, Jeff Paulin, was very informative. He gave me a lot of great information on what was legal and what wasn't legal. Considering I have never bought after market tint before, it was interesting. Tomorrow, I will be getting it installed. It will probably be 35% tint on four doors, and probably the 15% in back.

So far, I have been very pleased with the experience with these guys so thank you very much for your comments.

I'll let you know how it went tomorrow.

Hey guys,

I got my tinting installed from Terrific Tint and it looks great! I went 35% all around (all four doors) with 15% in the back window. Also, they installed felt so the tinting on the window doesn't scratch. For those who don't know, this is important because Acura doesn't install felt (or other material) inside of their doors and therefore, it is possible for the tinting to get scratched when you roll the windows up or down if you don't get something installed to stop it. Thanks to all of you who made the suggestion to go there.

Lllumar tint for 30% all around is about $169 with a reputable company in South Florida.

Ceramic tint for you Navi owners runs about $235.
