Cool thanks! I didn't know you could negotiate the price too. Do they give you lifetime warranty on their job?

ca tint isnt that good.

pro tint is a better tint and better workers, but price and service is subpar

sprewell racing contracts good tinters


i know good tinters too, they use solarguard.


ca tint uses johnson tint which is kinda crappy.


generally u wanna go with solarguard or 3m


btw i used to work at a tint shop for 2 years

if u got time and are not picky about 10s of dollars.


go to Pro tint, talk to any salesman


those 2 are the best, cleanest tinters ive ever seen, they do every car like its their own and do it slow.

their cut on the tint is perfect and there is no dirt whatsoever inside the film.



as for the film, get the quantum, itll last u a lifetime.

go to Pro tint, DONT TALK TO JEFF LYNN. he is the owner and will suck u dry like no other.

talk to any salesman, then request JEFF HU or PHILIPE do your car.

I have af ew questions:
1. How long does it take for them to tint the window?
2. How much more are we talking about? $10, $20 more or $100 more?
3. How do they cut hte film? laser cut or cut on the car?
4. Quantum film is it metalize film? Will it affect my Radio or GPS reception?

Thanks
