Tom? at Trimline? I need to tint the front windows in the FJ, maybe I should give them a try.

My car is the black sedan if you have been to the meets. I have 20% all around(the four side windows and rear window).

I have had my tint for almost 2 years and I have never been pulled over for having it too dark. 20% is illegal in the front door windows, IIRC 35% is the limit.

I paid $180 cash at the place listed below. He did and awesome job. On my old NEON I had a $250 pro job, and this guy did better work than they did,Trimline on Greg St. He did the job in about 1.5 hours. Be warned this is a one man operation and there may be a wait to get in.

Oh rad. Thanks

My tint is FUCKED UP on one of the front winders. Perhaps I should visit Tom too.

cody · 2007-09-21, 08:27 AM

Mine too. Thank you Mission Car Wash.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-09-21, 08:35 AM

How did it happen? Somehow the heat this summer made mine wrinkle.

cody · 2007-09-21, 08:52 AM

I can only guess that there was a rock in the rag they used to clean the inside of the window or the guy was wearing a big ring or something. There were like 5 little "chunks" taken out of the tint along with little tabs of tint so you could tell it was fresh. I noticed it as soon as I looked out the window when exiting their parking lot.

One thing I was concerned about was the window track or whatever part that made a 1" vertical stripe up the center of the window after some significant mileage. Both my 97 OB and my 96 Imp had it. Does anyone have this go on? Did it screw up your tint and/or make it look like ass?

cody · 2007-09-21, 09:31 AM

The tint I had installed 2 years ago at trimline (the more expensive metalic stuff) has held up against that issue very well.

scoobymods has a procedure for taking care of that. Basically the little pad gets full of dust and hardens. You just scrub it a bit and it goes back to being frayed cloth or whatever it is. I plan to do it to my new/old wagon before I get it tinted.

Good to know, I'll probably do that after winter since mine is still pretty new.

My wifes uncle Greg works and trimline along with like 10 other people we know and I have to say that I have never seen a better tint job.

Thomas Kang. He did the wagon's back 5 windows and I've had no issues and I think it looks sweet. He'll be doing the Legacy when I get it.

wrxkidid · 2007-09-24, 05:57 PM

Thomas Kang did mine too. Did a great job for an amazing price.
