I would recommand them too, they are knowledgable on what they are doing. They actually take the steps to do the job right, not many places will use a towel to cover up your dash so water won't get all over your interior. Their shop has a waiting area right next to the tinting area so you can sit there on the sofa and watch them work, or you can just watch some shows on the plasma screen they have there.

They also do tints on homes and business as well, I was pretty suprised by that.

Oh yeah! That's a pretty cool demo box, if I haven't already know about hupers I would have been sold after seeing that box.

Default Any recommended SoCal tint shops for F1 tint?

I've already checked the authorized dealers list on FormulaOne's website, there are so many. I would like to know other people's experiences that got the F1 ceramic tint in the socal area. Quality, service, friendliness, etc.

Thanks.

I'm in Chino, but I'm willing to travel anywhere in the socal area. I thought about huper optik at Song's Tint Masters......but I don't think I can stomach $475 for it.

I got a price quote for Madico ceramic from there also, $525. :|

I am also looking for a shop to do ceramic tint in the OC / So cal area. I have heard that metallic tint interferes with radar detectors.
Anything else thats a little cheaper?

I just got quotes from Steve's Professional Tinting in Upland and Sun Down in Loma Linda. Both $399 for 7 windows.

Anybody got it for a lower price?
