Hey guys,

Ok i'm going to get my IS tinted and I think I have narrowed it down to three or four places.

Partial Eclipse (Tom) - Madico for $225 (non ceramic)
AAE Tint - 3m Ceramic for $210
A Terrific Tint - Llumar $250
The Tint Pros - Formula 1 for $275

Any comments on these, the ceramic 3m seems really really really cheap does anyone know about this shop? How are these prices? Thanks guys

 

besides just shopping for what type of tint, make sure to get good references...
tint type is nothing if their install is crap

 

Cheap?? I was thinking of taking $100 off all of those prices.....

 

really? I can't find anything for less than $200. I thought the Cermaic for $210 was cheap. Everyone I talk to says this car is difficult which is why its more money. BTW I live in Orange County so that might be why is more $$$

 

That's got to be it. Over here, you can get a lot better deals!! Gotta love the OC. lol

 

Wow, that's cheap for Ceramic. Is that really Ceramic? My quote for Ceramic is $475.

Those prices aren't bad. For the type of tints your asking. Unless you don't care about brand, You got California Tint or Pro Tint in Rosemead.

I got my Madico ONYX tint at Song's Tint Masters, but they are located in Ktown. Paid $220.

 

any reqs... i'm leaning towards Partial Eclipse but not sure... anyone try AAE???

is ceramic worth it

 

i know i got solargard and it's barely keeping any heat out

and those are cheap for cali... iwa s getting quoted in the 400s

 

I know those are all Orange County places but I work down in SD, anyone have any good reqs... I've heard of Diamon in Mira Mar but not sure... I just worry about my baby

 

alvin o's if you wanna pay 500 bucks :X

Where are you going? What type of tint is it?

 

ok made an appointment with a terrific tint (Llumar Metallic-ceramic Hybrid) thanks guys for the help

 

I just had FormulaOne Pinnacle 35 ceramic done @ Mr Tint in Escondido. The guys there did an awesome job. As for the tint performance, there definitely is a difference with the ceramic tint in terms of glare and heat reduction. I paid 360 otd. Steep, but they were the only FormulaOne dealer in the county.

- Alvin O's (Kearny Mesa) - many tints. the best of the best in SD
- Tint Devil (Miramar) - Solargard
- Diamond Tint (Miramar) - LLumar
