The process took me about 6 hours. Went to cali tint at 9ish and got back the car at 3:30. It took awhile because they had remove the original tint i had. overall, it looks great! paid around 200 for removal of old tint and new tint.

Just took a M3 and IS-F to Cali tint and both cars came out with no issues... Peter's a great guy and is always able to get things done quite fast... glad your tint worked out even with a busted window!

What kind of tint did you get? If you can, post some pics =]

$200 sounds a little cheap for tint, what is everyone else paying to get this done? What is the warranty on the tint?

I got 17 in the front and 37 in the back(keeping it safe from the cops). my car's appearance looks a lot different now after getting it. i will post pictures after i do a complete detail of my car. hopefully by the end of tomorrow night.
I paid 200 with lifetime warrante. =/ i think 200 is a little bit expensive since i heard people getting it for 135. than again, they removed my ****ty/heavy bubbled/faded tint.

If it is lifetime, I guess you can't go wrong. When speaking with a couple colleagues, they got their cars tinted for 200 and it was a 3 year warranty. They mentioned about some higher quality tint w/ a lifetime warranty but that was near $400. Definitely post pics, I want to get an idea of what to do with mine. Did you get a ceramic tint?

I can vouch for California Tint, they did my 09 IS F back in December.

Johnson's Greystone 30% all around.
