Default Tint in Seattle/Bellevue?

Hey guys what is a good reputable place that can do 20% tint all around and has a lifetime warranty on purple and bubbling?

Thanks,
Elliott

Angry Looking For One Aswell!!!!!

There is a problem that I am trying to overcome before I get mine tinted. I have noticed that in my brothers and my friends cars that have tinted windows, when u drive at night, the headlights of the car behind you get spread all the way to the top and bottom of the window, rather that the headlights being just like a one dot in the middle. the light spreads along the top and bottom, when loking thru the rear view mirror. I Hope u guys can understand what I am talking about, nad help me knowing if ur guys car does that aswell. This can only be noticed in the dark.

http://www.accutintseattle.com/ The best possible, we send all of our Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Rolls Royce, Range Rovers, etc. to them and no complaints yet.

What was the cost for you? And what % did you get?

Thanks,

I could get my SC done for $320 to rip off the old and put on the new but that's after a discount of around $100, so on your car I'm guessing $450-500 if you have tint but around $375-400 without.

I double checked mine and I don't have this issue that you speak of....granted on the way HOME from the club it sure appeared that I may of had a problem becuase EVERYTHING was really blurry (don't worry...I was not driving).

I just got my IS350 a week ago and am looking into tinting my windows as well. I have SGM and am not sure what % to get. Obviously 35% is legal, but will it look alright? Or should I go with something darker? What are the odds of ever getting pulled over for it and what can/will they do?

Thanks for the link to Accutint as well, I was actually searching for a good place to go.

Default tinting

My wife had her ES300 done at Accutint yesterday and it looks pretty good, for 380-something. They quoted me around 265 or something, it's the same price on all coupes. I'm going to another place that's going to cost a hundred dollars less in a place in Bothell called Exclusive Window Tinting, I'll let you know how it goes. But they also have a lifetime warranty for their product so I'll give it a try.

Not sure where your at, but in Kirkland there is a place called Jay's Tint Shop Inc which I have had 4 of my cars done at...I am very happy with all of them. I paid less than $300 for my GS.

Jay's Tint Shop Inc info

By the way...ya gotta come to a meet! Not sure where your at but my wife & I live in Kenmore.
