My IR thread leads me to asking this question...anyone know of any?

 

im in the same situation.

Tony (S14 n TSX) said he knows a great place in LA, so i'll update the info on here once i talk to him today.

 

yelp.com? I'll ask some friends.

 

What film are you planning to go with?

3M has installers on their website...

This place has Huper Optik... http://www.clearcutadvantage.com/

edit: just noticed your other thread

 

Thread exists... but it's not exclusive to westside

CA Tint in Rosemead (prob a drive for you but well worth it)
4325 Rosemead Blvd.
Rosemead, CA 91770
626.287.2321

great prices - good quality work - call talk to him - make an appt then go - otherwise you better be there early on a weekend (at least 30+ min before they open)

 

Sarlacc want some tints? Sorry dude, can't help you. I got mine from the dealer, free of charge.

 

Went here this morning. Was the first customer. Got 23% tint. Peter, the owner is a cool dude, has a 2010 Black SS Camaro.

Top notch job, cant wait for it to dry.

 

Niiiiice!

Pics when it's all dry...

 

 

Not sure if you guys would know, but will California Tint be able to add felt (moleskin) to the windows to prevent the scratching that occurs on the 04-06 TLs?

 

Aaron did you check out Song's Tint Masters? My friend went there to get the HuperOptik Tint.

Song's Tint Masters
2464 W Washington Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90018

.. sorry for the noob question.. whats the diff between reg tint and HyperOptic tint?

 

Huper Optik is ceramic tint. Better grade with more heat resistance.

It also costs about 3x more.

 

Just got it done at Cali Tint (30% all around w/ moleskin). Well worth the drive from West LA. Peter was awesome. And his SS? even more awesome.

 

post pics and price!

 

Pics will come after the tint's all dry, still a few bubbles.

Price was $150 including moleskin. Keep in mind that's a CASH price. He'll charge you more if you do credit card.

The warranty is only 2 years on the moleskin, but it was less than $10 a door, so I'm not sweating it.

I've been there before with my last car and sent several of my friends there (including my fiance). You can't go wrong!

I think 30% is perfect on an AM with ebony interior. Looks practically black at nite, but let's just enough light through during the day as to not be that attractive to quota-hungry cops.

 

I haven driven my challenger since I had it tinted. But I looked at it last night when I ot home and noticed a small piece near the bottom corner of the window that looks to be torn. Might have to take it back to him this weekend. We'll see. It's not terrible.

 

Playa Vista? Your drive there is just as bad as mine. but a tear would annoy the shit out of me. I'd make the drive back out east. haha

 

Sarlac and ThaiBruin - was either of your cars tinted before (did they have to strip old tint off)?

Thanks - lookin forward to pics

 

No. The car I took is brand new. Going on 3 weeks old.

Thai, yeah but early on a sat the drive isn't bad and any excuse to drive the challenger is a good one

 

Mine didn't have tint.

sarlac - the drive will be easy for sure, just hope there won't be a line of people ahead of ya!

 

Actually got in my car today...crisis averted, part of the rubber seal was flipped up and pressing on the window. Only LOOKED like a tear.

Tint is perfect and so was my cruise up PCH today...just wish there had been less traffic.

 

Sarlac - pics?

 

Need to get the car washed first. Had dust on it when I parked it in the garage last Sunday, so I didnt put the cover on...so it has more dust.

I'm hoping to wash it today....wife might have other plans for me.

 

OK pics, sorry it took so long...also did have to have the driver side door redone...the cut was to allow for room because the rubber was tight...he redid it for me. looks great. Took me in and did it right away, no waiting in line.

 

Stunning in black! My neighbor has an orange R/T that he rarely drives too.

 

Thanks.

I wonder if your neighbor is a member of the SCC. I just joined last week.

 

LOOKS GREAT!!!!

ThaiBruin - your turn.... pics?

 

haha. soon. I took the car in for the 3rd gear TSB that's out for the 6MTs. The previous owner never had it done. I should have the car back this week I hope!

 

Looks great Sarlacc!

What time did you get there on saturday morning to be the first customer? I'm thinking of going tomorrow morning! How much did you pay? 150?

Thanks!

 

It should be $150 CASH if you get the felt. If you don't get the felt, it's $120 I think.

 

Got it.

What time should I get there? approximately? I hate waiting, but I'm good at waking up early.. so..

 

Got there at about 8:30 and waited for Peter to come open the chains to the parking lot.

Paid 130 and some change for a coupe.

 

^ Great. Thank you very much. I'm going there tomorrow!

 

If you're going on a weekday, you don't need to get there that early. I went on a Wednesday at like 10:30a.m. and there was no wait at all.

 

Really? That's even better! Then, I should be there around 10:30am! I'm taking my car and my gf is taking her car! We both just purchased new cars together!

 

i'd just go early to be on the safe side.

There is a Target about a mile down the road. The wife and I just walked there and hung out while waiting for the car to be done.

 

+1 on getting there early.

I got mine done there on a weekday... got there at like 9:10 and the place was almost full. Anything past 10:30 AM is risky.

 

alright going now!

it's about 15 minutes away!

 

tell him the bald dude in the black challenger sent you
