Hi, I'm new to the board. Just got a 99 GS400 and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good tint shop in the bay area. I seldom see good looking tints but I figure Lexus owners have good taste so I'm trusting you guys. Thanks!!

I got mine done at Extreme Tint in Santa Clara. Back window, and 4 doors with metalic tint for 250 USD. They did one hell of a job. Give them a call.

Try California Tinting. It's located just off Camden, on Sunny Oaks, in an industrial park area. I got to it by turning onto off Winchester at Hacienda. My five window tint cost $350 about two years ago. They do a great job and the tint is guaranteed for the life of the car.

hey Amlin, I need tint on my New GS430 in bay area too, I used to let Mr. Tint do the Quantum Tint for me.... which is awesome quality, but it's like 400 bucks, i think it's ripping me off..... So i am looking for the same tint, but with much better price, perhaps we can do it together, 2 always make better price =D

Wei,

no problem. that is what this forum and friendship is all about.
i am just glad i found that clear japanese film for the front wind shield, otherwise the blk dash would be fried in this s.cal sun.

the guy has been tinting cars building for over 15 years, and he charges very good prices.

let me know when you get back.

will

Cool

Hei guys....

It's GS500 from chat... I might be moving back to SF next sem and I MAY bring my car... Since you guys are on the topic of tint... My car is tinted... all around including the (illegal) front windshield... do you know if I have to remove all my tint before I ship my car to SF?

Hi GSInt. GS4Will

I was just in LA for graduation...was wondering where I could get a tint job...saw a silver CLK430 with such a beautiful tint I wanted to leave a note and ask him where he got it but I figured I only go back down to LA about every two months. I need my tint NOW...Will check out the recommended places over the weekend...gotta work =(
