Try Executive Motoring on the corner of Richmond and Hillcroft. Great place and they do an excellent job.

I did mine back in 2006 for $260. 20% fronts and 5%rear. I got the top of the line back then. I don't remember the name, but it has a metallic reflection when light hits it, which keeps out more light and adds more privacy.

Here are some pics from one of my posts:

I can't remember the place's name but its right off of I 45 and Cypresswood. They charge 100 bux with a lifetime warranty. I don't think thats a bad deal...

I thought it was Motorsport...

But yah +1, they have done a few of my friends cars, and will re-do my tint (they didn't do it originally) when I get the money.

i know this thread is kinda old but love that place..... took all my cars to this pace... a little pricey but well worth it.... tint is really good most the tint they got reflects alot more heat than other places you would go to for 100 bucks...

So I visited Executive Motorsports (Gessner location) on Saturday to get some info. The guy tried to sell me on their Black Max metalized tint, which I can't find much info on the internet. The Black Max HP DLX was $170, and the Titanium HP was $220. Anyone have either of these tints?

Also, the guy I spoke with didn't know anything about Moleskin. I was kind of surprised since I was under the impression that the good tint shops all knew about moleskin?

Moleskin is a protective felt that helps to prevent window tint from scratches. Do a google search (sorry, i'm having trouble inserting a link?)

I've heard that TSXs and TLs have had issues with scratching, and therefore would need the moleskin to be applied to the windows. I'm not certain how common this problem is, or how effective moleskin really is. If anyone can comment on this, and/or their experience with Black Max tint, it'd be much appreciated!
