I need to find a place to that a good job of tinting but that is quick. I usually get the dealership to tint but i find it's not dark enough.

does anyone know how long a tint job typically takes? Will i be able to pick up same day? (i want to tint 3 windows, 2 small sides and the rear)

Thanks for any helpful advice.

Stay cool tinting, Humberto is the owner operator, we have all of our Lexus vehicles done through him. He's good enough to do $160000 cars and really well priced as well. He'll come to your house even if you have a garage.

Shadow Tinting is good, one day service. I called today to get clear rock-chip guard, and they can get me in tuesday (quick, considering their closed sat/sun/mon for the holiday)

tons of selection to choose from. Thanks Beyond! I'll will give people a call tommorow after the long weekend. Does anyone have any problems with their navi and their tint. I was reading the manual and it says metallic properties from the tint in my rear window may degrade gps system.

what kinda discount are we talking. if its not that big of a difference i'll wait till i got more money... but if it's great savings.. i gotta jump all over that! lol.

i called them ttoday for a quote but didnt know about this group buy untill just now... so maybe i'll call them again tmw

5 percent discount is what i got. Called humberto first but he was too busy.

The tint is pretty good but they messed up the back of my car a bit. there's two white scratches on my leather seats. I have tried many things to get them out and it's still there. I ordered some stuff online so hopefully it'll do the trick. A little spot of glue dripping on the liner of my car and lots of white dotty drips on the black interior.

Kind of sad about the scratches because it's a brand new car just over a week old.

^^^Damien is a very good friend of mine and i know his work really well(worked with him fr 3 years) and he would NEVER fuck anybody over. take the car back into him and tell him what you see. im sure hell compensate for it or have a good explanation of whats going on, hes got nothing to hide.

Thanks for the info. I'm understand it happens, its just sad that it happened to me lol. Damien sounds like a terrific guy, i spoke with him when i dropped off my car and we talked about 3m and i saw that he did a great 3m job on a guys shelby mustang so i decided to get 3m done as well. Looks great! When i picked up the car he told me to come back in a week to make sure everythings fine with the tint so i will do that and i'll mention to him the minor problems.

Btw anyone know how much plexus (sp?) cleaner costs?

Shadow tinting is fast and did a good job. Only problem was they somehow used 1/4 tank of gas. Not sure of pumping the AC is part of the curing process or not.
