Smile Tint in Bay Area

Auto Mall Tints in Fremont 510-659-8468. Geraldo did my wife TL and my IS. He explained the benefits and the prices clearly and no pressure to put something you might regrets later. Highly recommended.

Unhappy Tint suggestion in San Jose CA. area

Hi CL

I have my 2010 IS250 for a few months now. One of the mods I want done is a tint job on rear passenger windows. Can you guys recommend a good tint shop in the San Jose, CA area?

Has anyone used Rocky Mountain in Livermore lately?

They quoted me about $379 with FormulaOne Pinnacle ceramic film. They appear to be the only shop in the area that carries this film?

Formula One Pinnacle ceramic film is a great product !! I had mine for 2 weeks now
the internal temperature of my RX has dropped at least a bit so it's not as hot as it used to be.

Hi.. last time I got automall tint to put V-kool on my car, great film and great job, however quite expensive, I was wondering if anyone know about the new 3M ceramic tint.. I am interested in a light tint but cutting the heat just like v-cool does.

I had V-Kool and I switched to Premier's Diamond Cut IR all around. I think they did comparisons against 3M and other tints and it compares favorably. The cool thing about Diamond Cut IR is you can put it on your front windshield.

hey I remember you Jason, wow you actually ripped out the V-Kool? I still have it on my IS and love it, can you tell me how dark is the diamond cut? 73% doesn't seem too dark.. any pictures? Any problems with the local officiers?

How does the sun's heat feel compared to V-Kool? Is it slightly green like V-Kool?

PM me price if you don't mind.. I am going to premier on friday to get a clear film done, I wonder if they can do the tint at the same time.
