LGTfoLIFE Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Does anybody know a good shop where I can get my windows tinted around the Bay Area? I'm looking for something affordable say under $200:rolleyes:. I've called around and the quotes I got was close to $300:eek: I'm not trying to spend that much. Any help would be great. Thanks
SCSpecB Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Was $300 for front/back? Or just the back? Depending on where you're at, I got mine done in Santa Cruz at TGC (I'm sure there are comparable companies closer). They had 3 or 4 tint options, with the lowest being pretty cheap if IIRC
aldouse Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 hit up omega tintwerks in pleasanton. heard of nothing but good reviews of them. -- yay for the sig! -- my garage!

How much did you pay for your tint? hit up omega tintwerks in pleasanton. heard of nothing but good reviews of them. Ill check that place out and get a quote. thx
wpmarky Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I've heard good things about Vince @ Omega. Lots of the WRX/STI bay area crowd go to him.

I got the top of the line option tho...Give them a ring and they should be able to price your options. Oh and a lifetime warranty which the girlfriend (Cooper S) and I have both used without issue.
cagefreak Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Try http://www.automalltintspecialist.com/ Outstanding reviews on Yelp and I intend to bring my LGT there soon... As for price, it's said that they lower the price if you pay cash (which I assume is because CC fees are ridiculous) Hope this helps...
LGTfoLIFE Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 I finally got my windows tinted. I found a shop in San Mateo that did my windows for $150 all around and it comes with lifetime warranty. They did a very good job and they had about 4 guys working on my car. They said it was going to take 2hrs to do but I got my car out within an hour. If you want to check this place out the shop is called Best Image. Here's a picture of my car. Let me know what you guys think? http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq151/madkrazy/lgt2.jpg http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq151/madkrazy/lgt3.jpg http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq151/madkrazy/lgt1.jpg
SCSpecB Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Looks like about the % I have on mine, what brand tint? I'm sure its the light, but it kinda looks like your corner windows have a slightly different % than the rear door windows.
wpmarky Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Wow, $150? did they do the Driver & passenger front windows? From the 2nd pic, it looks like they did, but the 3rd one it looks like they didn't.
LGTfoLIFE Posted July 15, 2010 Author Posted July 15, 2010 The tint I have is M3 film. Yup $150 for all 7 windows, that is a good deal that comes with lifetime warranty. The % is 5% in the back 5 windows. Yes I got the front windows tinted also and that is 35%. It's probably the light that makes the corner windows look different. If you see it from a different angle you can see that it is the same % as the back windows. I'll take a picture of a different angle.
Heedz Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 yes best image.. if you wanna look at my car let me know ive got 5% all around 50% windshield.. yes i probably have the darkest tinted out car on this forum..
