I used Mother's Window tint. I know, I know. Most people try to stay away from there but I got the 3m carbon-based tint with sunroof and eyebrow for 300 bucks WITH stereo install. (It was just an amp kit and install) They did a great job, I even saw some fuzz underneath one of the windows and they ended up redoing everything until I was happy. Props to them, this is the second car that I've taken there and I've been very happy with both. I hope this helps.

cool, thanks for the input, I have heard not to go there for tint from a couple people, but price could make the deal. did you get a warranty on the tint job there?

dont go to tint specialist. just got mine done by them and they melted me doors on my new car. (Infiniti G35) they are trying to see if it can be reupholster. we well see when i get back from my trip. if not they will be replacing the door panals. ($500 each)

gsr027 · 05-13-2008, 07:31 PM

yeah, we stopped using those guys - i've used shade shop on two cars - no problems

viperkv · 05-13-2008, 07:38 PM

yeah i should have went there. just these guys gave me a good deal. now i regret it.

Sweet any idea what Shade Shop will charge for their darkest on an 06 Coupe? thanks for the replies

gsr027 · 05-14-2008, 01:37 AM

um, it kinda depends who you talk to when you go there - when you go "really dark" they raise the price, and do it on a cash basis...but i kinda think that goes with most places if you go real dark... i'd try to talk to randy - he's a cool guy and won't try to screw you around. and they'll try to work a deal with you if you're interested in like a system or alarm...

Heh I ALMOST had mine done there. I live in the Apt complex right before there on the feeder.

Ended up getting mine done at Mothers because my wife got me a gift certificate to get it done there for christmas. They did good job except the top of the back window is a little goofed on the dot pattern.
