bighaus90 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Even with getting the tint on the back removed I bet I could get you a good deal. I'll call my buddy tomorrow and ask him what his best price is. I'll try to get some pictures soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My friend Sean will do it for under 200... You've seen my cars. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well I think i'm going to have A Touch of Air tint my front windows at the legal limit...$60 isn't bad, and it's only a mile away from my apartment. Then we'll see if I do anything else beyond that. I kinda wish my back windows weren't already tinted...that really drives the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Took my new honda to Cool Image. 30 minutes later and $60 I now have some nice 3M with a lifetime warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yep. Just the fronts. Already had privacy glass in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmoormax Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Cool image in Sandy did mine. Best tint job I've seen. They went way above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. Could have been me that did it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLeonard Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 JDMchizad knows what he is talking about.... his friend does a killer job, he has done two of my cars and it is actually rediculous how good he is! He takes his time and does stuff that no other shop will! If you want the best job possible and the most affordable go to him, u can pm jdmchizad or myself for his info!

keithk831 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Bringing this thread back to life. I have an appt for Thursday at A Touch of Air. I'm going to do 43% up front, and 20% on everything else. Quoted me at $230. And this was a different person than in my last post about them. I'm excited to see how it turns out! They need to remove the old tint, so it'll take a day and a half to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S402 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 old tint should take 30 min to do tops, unless back windshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, they have the back windshield as well. They do "bake-on" tinting, so they actually remove the glass and bake it on so it leaves no lines. Supposed to be a very good place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighaus90 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 bake on? I did some reading on this and it seems just like a more expensive and maybe slightly quicker way to do it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you could get it done cheaper somewhere else. Oh and I'll send you over some pics of my car asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskajoel Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 All my cars have been done at A Touch of Air, Glass and Trim. It is by far the best tint work I've had done--no lines, full coverage, no discoloration, and (generally) no scratching. I recently had a small rock get into the passenger side window of my Lexus and when I rolled it down, it got a small scratch on the inside tint--first time it had happened in 2 years. Took it in and they fixed it for free--hard to beat service like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 And you can roll your windows down right after; I guess with other methods you have to wait a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionide Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 You guys who have darker than legal, how do you pass safety inspection? I just bought an 09 from out of state that has 30% on the front, and I'd love to keep it... but I can't find a shop that will look the other way on that extra 10% (43% is legal, but they allow a 3% margin of error/equipment calibration error so you can get away with 40%). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's hard to find shops that will pass even 30%. That's what I have on my Outback... I have a guy, but he won't pass any of my friends. Since your car is newer, they skip every other year on safety inspection, so you might be ok. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zionide Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, the '09 has to be inspected this year... and it has to happen this month. So I need to find a way to get it passed in a week, or start peeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.Rice Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, the '09 has to be inspected this year... and it has to happen this month. So I need to find a way to get it passed in a week, or start peeling. Just go to Envision and get your fronts swapped out with 40% tint.... legal and dark enough... Tyrell will prolly do it for like $60-$80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importedasian Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 hey so where do you guys go to get darker in the front windows? I use to go to "SUPER TINTS" Off like 9000 S and you head west off the exit and make your 1st right. And it's like there on the east side of the road. Use to go to a guy name Cody and he did all my other cars 5% all around if I paid him cash plus he knew me and I gave him a lot of business. But I don't know if he's there anymore. But then to the south of Super Tints there's also Pro Tints like past the Maverick off 9000 S also. but they wouldn't do darker then 50% in front. My boy works at CAR CONCEPTS and they won't do it for me anymore either. So where can I get it darker in front? please let me know or hit me up with a text! would much appreciate it thanks! 801-739-5455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am thinking about tinting the windows on a black '93 SS I just purchased out of state. I don't want to get hassled by the cops or have problems with safety, so I'm thinking 40% all around is what I will do. But from this thread I see that plenty of you have 40% in the front and go darker in the back. My question is, when you get a safety inspection, do they just check the front window? Is that how you guys get away with darker in the back? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
