Recommend a Tinter
 
Just as the title says. I'm looking to get my car and my mom's car tinted. It'd be freaking sweet if they could offer us a discount since we're both going to get our cars done...

Search. There is at least one review in the vendor reviews forum and it has been discussed quite a bit.

Not being rude, I just don't remember the guy's name... A bunch have used him.

The guys name is Thomas, and his place is off Grove St. IIRC. A quick search for that should turn up his info (I'm on the iPod so I can't paste a link now).

Custom Window Tinting on Wrondel Way. Thomas is awesome.

Ah, sorry about that. Didn't think to search.

Coolio, thanks.

I was pretty happy with my tint from Trimline. They're not cheap though.

100_Percent_Juice 2009-06-17 09:22 AM

Yeah they are pricey. I have a family member who works there otherwise I would have gone somewhere else. Their work is top notch though.

Jeikun 2009-06-17 10:37 AM

I have an appointment with trimline tomorrow at 10. Pictures will follow.

thats where I got mine done....awesome work at a resonable price!

Jeikun 2009-06-17 04:51 PM

They quoted my 240 for the nice stuff (w/ the 5 yr warranty), 170 for the other (the 3 year, dyed stuff)...

wrxkidid 2009-06-17 05:25 PM

Really? Mine was cheaper than that on my evo, but there might be some other deciding factors on the suby...and I got mine done two years ago when the economy was a lot better.

khail19 2009-06-17 07:09 PM

Trimline is nearly double the price for tinting every time I've checked with them.

Jeikun 2009-06-17 09:06 PM

Not for me. Thomas at custom window tinting quoted me 170... But I didn't ask if that was the good stuff or not... Perhaps I should give him a call back before I make my final decision...

Thomas will also usually knock a few bucks of the job if you pay cash. He did my WRX w/ the "high-performance" expensive stuff back in 2001 for $200 cash IIRC.

Jeikun 2009-06-17 10:59 PM

I'm not gonna be getting my windows tinted tomorrow. My ride to class fell though. :(

I'm gonna call Custom Window Tinting back and ask them a few more questions instead.

Edit: I just noticed I broke 100 posts. O_O

wrxkidid 2009-06-18 09:10 AM

Thomas is an awesome guy and does great work.

This is where I got mine done. My family know's some people there, so we got a nice little price. But yea, they do a great job.

WRXlerate 2009-06-18 03:24 PM

Thomas at Custom does good work.

Trimline f*d up my friends trim on the top of the door and wouldn't replace it. You could tell they hit it with a razor blade when they were cutting the tint.

cody 2009-06-18 03:39 PM

Trimline broke the plastic clip that holds the rear center seatbelt out of the way when it's not needed (wagon specific) and they tried to glue the clip back together. :roll: Um, yah, make sure you glue your belt buckle when it brakes too...should work great. :lol:

I called them up and told them. They talked to the guy who did the tinting and he admitted the mistake so I had to bring it back in for them to install the dealer part. The fix cost me nothing but time.

stichris 2009-06-19 07:53 PM

i went to All Seasons Window Tinting and it was 300 i got the high performance window tint as well

100_Percent_Juice 2009-06-19 08:25 PM

Holy crap! ^ They must have bumped their prices. I went there when Trimline wouldn't do 20% in the front for me and the guy at All Season only charged me 50 for the front windows.

stichris 2009-06-19 09:33 PM

wow i got mine done last summer i cant remaber what kinda tint it was but it was the best stuff they had maybe i just got riped off ahah
