whats up man.
No need to go far.
there is a place in san mateo by the railroad, i forget what they are called. they tinted my 03 cobra years ago and it looked flawless, they've also done several of my friends cars. If you get a bubble or something you can always bring it back and they'll redoit free of charge. i want to tint my windows on the 96 too. do u plan on getting all 5 windows done (rear, two small ones and the two front ones)?
let me talk to my friend(he knows the owner i think) and try to see if we can get us a deal. the more cars we have the cheaper it'll be.

Is anyone else interested in getting their windows tinted?

is that for all 5 windows? what tint do they use and is the warranty lifetime?

Posted by Jmir018 (Member # 1414) on :

don't know the details.. i did my research years ago. 2002. it was the best offered in 2002 though.. and i remember them offering to replace it if it turned purple... and removing the fronts ones free of charge if i got pulled over. [Big Grin]

my buddy is comign to my house in a couple of hours. i'll ask him then.

Posted by CLEEN 50 (Member # 5867) on :

2002? lol,......4 years later. Alex let me know how it goes when you check that place out? $200 is a deal for tint and a detail [worship]

i dropped by today. the $200 special is on some el cheapo tint. if i wanted 3m, the price would be $250 for 5windows. his work looks really good but i think ill shop around a bit to get an idea how much it really costs. we'll see what jersey's hookup says

stay away from a-1 mobile window tint in rocklin. I had them come out 3 times for the crappy work they did and would not take care of all the dirt that was between the window and tint.

what's so funny? it's still the best now.. for much cheaper than 200 with better quality than the chepo film they use elsewhere.
think it's called autoimage

i think i may have gone to this shop. are they located in burlingame? did u find out if the tint is 3m? with that $250 quote i got from kingtint, even the $200 is sounding like a steal let alone $140. id rather spend a bit morefor the better film than to have to take the car back to replace el cheapo tint that has turned purple over time.

Posted by CLEEN 50 (Member # 5867) on :

plus that $200 price includes a detail, which makes it worth it, I think. If you just want to get your windows tinted without the detail I'm sure they are plenty of places that tint window for around the $150 range. I'll try and find some. [patriot]

The $200 is for only 3 rear windows and elcheapo tint.

The place in San Mateo is now called "Best image". It used to be called "preferred image". Frank is the owner, really cool guy. He's the only person I've ever gone to for tint for all my family's and friends cars for the past 8 years. He gives lifetime warranty on all his tint jobs and when it comes to honoring it he gives you no hassle about it. Just drop by his shop and see how much he'll do it for. He usually does all 5 windows for about $160-185. Here's the shop info:

Best Image
1007 S Railroad Ave
San Mateo, CA 94402
(650) 287-2600

I'm sure there's a few members on here who had their tint done there. I remeber Purplenotch used to recommend them all the time and used to get a price hookup for everybody. [patriot]

.

that's the place i was talking about.

Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on :

jersey, can you talk to your boy at that shop to get me the hookup. its looking like $325 for 3m for 7 windows.

Posted by STREETFIGHTER50 (Member # 5012) on :

If more cars more discount, LMK how much to do my '94 GT. 3 rear windows I want for sure, but wanna know how dark legally can I go on the fronts too???

Posted by Jmir018 (Member # 1414) on :

i'll ask later today.
I'm getting mine done. i know i can get all 5 windows for 150.
streefighter, you should do all 5 windows and if you get pulled over, depending on how you set the transaction, they'll remove them for you.
venomous99, what is the tint that you want called? i know you are saying 3m, but does it have another name? 7 windows? how do u have 7 windows? 1 rear, two back, two front, big windshield? that's 6?

Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on :

i want 50% 3m.
7 windows=2 front sides, 2 rear sides(each is split so its really considered 2 windows per rear side) and rear window.

Posted by STREETFIGHTER50 (Member # 5012) on :

I know I want the rears really dark & slightly, but whatever is legal in the front. They do use high quality tint as Alex was saying, correct?

anything in front that isnt factory is considered illegal. thats partly the reason why im going with the lightest tint..dont really like the look of dark rear windows then light in the front.
