**AndrewTDI** · 03-22-2007, 09:58 PM

I'm planning on tinting my windows, and I'm just looking for some opinions on good tint shops? Who's going to give me the best bang for my $, and do a good job?

**JDM CL9** · 03-22-2007, 10:10 PM

Completely Agree. I went all the way down there to get mine done. Got a good price, great service, and great workmanship.

Took up a bunch of time and some gas driving but I'm glad I did it.

**AndrewTDI** · 03-22-2007, 10:26 PM

Well if time allows, I guess that place is possible. How about locally though?

**klown78** · 03-23-2007, 12:00 AM

Xtreme, Big steve does amazing tinting!! And if you tell him your on the forum maybe he will swing you a deal!

**ids748** · 03-23-2007, 10:02 AM

For warranty purposes and commute don't bother going to audio heaven........

I dont know if its a problem but i got mine done back in january. and i know he said the dot matrix wouldn't completley cure ever but man it looks liek my ass right now.

I've seen other accords with tints in KW and their tints are fully covering the dot matrix on the back window. Makes me think twice now..........shoulda had it done at image1.

**Little_Dragon** · 03-23-2007, 11:29 AM

Xtreme all the way! did a fantastic job on the SHO that I have for sale.

edges are cut so nice and clean... and close to the edge, I love it.

I had arranged for 2 other people to get tinted at the same time.... then they pulled out, which kinda made me look bad.

I appologise Xtreme... they were going to get the work done.... dont' know why they didn't... and, they are still untinted to this day. Meh.. that was 2 years ago.

They did a fantastic job! And, its local.

I will do business with them again.

**CivNick** · 03-23-2007, 11:43 AM

extreame is pretty good

them and carcare or something like that.. its on the corner off mill street

**sschung** · 03-23-2007, 12:35 PM

you could try kar-rite. all patterns are computer cut. they're a bit more expensive but they do good work with quality materials and have a lifetime guarentee (and since they've been around for a while you might actually be able to use it).

**Gogi** · 03-30-2007, 12:09 AM

Just did mine today at Audio Heaven. They did a good job, but I waited a long @ss time. My appointment was at 2:30 (I came in a bit earlier, around 1:45) and they only took my car in at about 4:30.

**Pharaoh** · 03-30-2007, 12:31 AM

^^^ouch, how much did they charge?

**Gogi** · 03-30-2007, 10:23 AM

They charged me $90 taxes in for my two front windows. I probably could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else but I was heading up to Toronto anyways so it was pretty much on the way.

**Riddle_Rob** · 03-30-2007, 03:40 PM

Xtreme. BigSteve has a lifetime warrenty on his tints. And its local just on Hespler in Cambridge. Xtreme Inc. Decent prices too. Like Wayne mentioned, if you join up on his forum and participate actively I'm sure he'd be willing to work with you.

Actually Andrew, I plan on gettin tints too when I can afford it so maybe I can talk at Steve..

**Pharaoh** · 03-30-2007, 06:40 PM

^^^we should do a group buy on tint, I have been looking at doing it too.

good idea... I wouldnt mind getting tints for my other car.

**Pharaoh** · 03-30-2007, 08:27 PM

There we go, that can be our next outing/meet everyone getting their windows tinted

**Gogi** · 03-31-2007, 04:04 AM

I was just about to suggest that the other day before I decided to go get them done, but I thought ... what are the chances

Ah well !

**Jamie** · 03-31-2007, 07:02 PM

im looking to get my tints done in about a month

**Twenty 7** · 03-31-2007, 08:42 PM

I'm looking into tint as well - if you find something, I might be interested

**ragingrivera** · 03-31-2007, 10:37 PM

Same here ive been on the fence about it for a year, im afraid ill get it too dark or not dark enough. Any of you guys familiar with tint with a bit of reflection to it?

**Pharaoh** · 03-31-2007, 11:28 PM

looks like we have a good group of people here wanting to get their windows tinted!!!

**AndrewTDI** · 04-01-2007, 11:02 PM

And then to a nice photoshoot after everyone gets it done

**Riddle_Rob** · 04-02-2007, 01:51 AM

Mmmm can you say CALENDAR? lol..

**cyphon21** · 04-02-2007, 04:39 AM

Im dying to get tints done, I want 20% though, or %25... I dont want to pay more then 125 for a 2 door coupe that just needs the front windows and the back done...
