TINTING!!!
 
I dropped the STi off at Trimline to get the tint done this morning. I'm so excited. What a fun week of spending money on the car. I need to do this all the time! :D

Aren't they bank? ...I'm eventually going to need to get the SVX done, but I can't remember the name of the guy that did my WRX. :lol:

sti deede 2004-09-23 08:30 AM

yeah but they do a really good job, so I can splurge a little on it.

sperry 2004-09-23 08:31 AM

I wonder if they'd mark up the price on an SVX because of the "extra" windows. :lol:

What, you mean the 9 WINDOW tint job? :D

Haha, have them tint the mirrors and go for an even dozen ;)

ScottyS 2004-09-23 09:01 AM

Actually, I was just going to ask about good quality tinting around here. It's all about the warranty, right? What's the typical price for 5 windows (obviously I have more)?

MattR 2004-09-23 09:02 AM

I still think the guy that did Tyson and Sergios cars is the best, best price too.

what did you pay? I think when I first got my STi I called them and they didnt know if the windows where the same as the WRX, I told them they where and quoted over the phone like 195 or (IIRC), but then that was a year ago

MattR 2004-09-23 09:07 AM

I think Deedee said she was going to do it for like 200...so that sounds about right. I wish I knew what happened to the guy that did mine for 130...that was a sweet deal.

sti deede 2004-09-23 10:06 AM

I paid 260 for all window and the tint strip on the windshield. It's alot so it better be worth it. If not I'll be doing my usual and overpaying. :shock:

Who, pray tell, Matt? Good quality & guarantee? Still, I'd pay ~$250 if the work was good, and there were not going to be any problems down the road.

I think that's the guy that did mine. Little Vietnamese (I think) guy? I had his card, but lost it somewhere along the last 3 years since I had it done.

what grade tint did you get? 35 front 25 rest?

MikeSTI 2004-09-23 11:05 AM

ok I just called and they have a 3 yr. guarantee for 169.50 + tax

and their lifetime Guarantee is 217 + tax with front window strip for 30 more

so it sounds to me the prices have gone up sence last year :(

I got 35 for the front side windows and 15 eveywhere else. I hope it isn't too dark, but they didn't have 25. I got the lifetime warranty tint.
