They did good job. Although, they made a mistake on driver's side by putting a film with scratch on it, they said that they will re-do it in about 2 weeks, when I bring my car back to them for yellow fog films.
Thanks for letting me know a good tinting shop!

They used Suntech film, which I have had on my previous car: Audi A4 B6. They are OK and never saw color fading.
Also, they give life time warranty, so no need to worry about the quality of film.

I paid $304 for a beetle and IS.
It depends on how many pieces of windows your car has... I guess.

yea figured from what mctuner stated that it would be about $160ish. I have that ugly old school tint on the car now, that makes it look like all cars have HID's lol. How much do you think they would charge me to take off the old tint, I could probably take it off myself with a razor blade and goo gone.

what else do they do at this place?? Do they do any kind of other interior work?

not really upholstery, just do they do any interior detailing? Also i am looking for someone to take off the old wood dash kit, I would do it, but just would rather have someone do it if it wouldnt cost that much. Figured I could take the car, and have them do the tint, and if they do anything else do it right then and there.

i am still in the process of putting together the interior, I actually have an appointment this tuesday with a guy that betts lexus recommended and he is going to re-dye the interior, however I am looking like a **** to see if I can get ahold of an interior, as I have mixed feelings about re-dying the interior. He claims it will look times better, but I still would rather get OEM interior.

Would anyone here be interested in a set of slightly used wheels? I have a set of 18" Racing Hart C4 (2-piece wheels).

those are some nice wheels.

I am actually thinking about selling the car, just do not have the time for it, with work and everything, and thinking about going back to school. Still contemplating.

You guys have any idea of any likely buyers?

Antique bronze Mica really unique color, I havent seen another GS in this color in person.

but it is a GS400 113,750ish miles,

exterior I think the exterior is in very good condition, there is a scratch on the trunk, but you have to look kind of hard to see it, the thing that takes the car from good condition to fair is the interior,

I woud replace seats (leather is needed really) (found all four black seats for about $500 shipped, only thing is it was black) I think average price is about $800-1000 for all four complete seats or I know a guy that will redye them for $450 (says it will make a major difference (He was recommended by Betts Lexus)

Mechanically the car is in ok condition, the car runs strong, and shifts good. But I think is in need for some balljoints or tierods something of that nature, and also the ABS and VSC lights are on, I havent looked into as to why.

With patience, a little work and some money this car would from the ok condition its in, to excellent.

$10,000 OBO really not to sold on selling the car, lol I know right when I sell it the parts are going to become available. But for that I will sell it. Thing is right now I am running short of time, and the money.

edit oh, and as far as history, I have not run a carfax or anything like that, but the car has a clean title.

I found a dent on the lip on one of the wheels, which never gave me funny abnormal driving condition at all, but I was able to find it when I took some pics. strange..
Anyways, therefore, I am letting them go for $1149 shipped or $999 pick-up.
