Bay Area Tinting
Hey folks,
I am on the CL forums a lot but rarely post because I always find my answer hidden away somewhere. In spite of this, I need help!
As the title of this thread implies I am looking for a tint job somewhere in the Bay Area/Central Valley region. I've tried YELP but the reviews are mixed and my gut is telling me to not trust the reviews on there. So I thought, who better to ask than people who drive a Lexus as well?
Anyways, I'm in the market for tinting my is250. Price is not a problem and distance not so much as well - just stay in the NorCal region lol.
Thanks in advance!

I also highly recommend Vince over at Omega Werks! he is the owner AND the guy doing all the work, so you can rest assured that he'll take good care of your car...if there are any imperfections, you can always bring it back and he'll take care of it free of charge

I'm going to do all of my windows including sun roof and a 8" across the windshield with Formula One Pinnacle series ceramic film. Not only will it not interfere with AM channels (in case I need to hear traffic news), GPS or Radar detector. Formula One product doesn't have color fade and their warranty covers that unlike 3M film which I had for about 5 years on both of my previous cars have color fade.
Since my RX already has the colored privacy glass, on the rear 5 windows, I'm going with 15% to achieve Limo tint. 50% tint up front driver and passenger side windows
15% for the sun roof and windshield. This is all being done at Pro tint in Stockton, CA

For those of you who are in San Jose, or around. There is 2 people that do window tinting in their own home. They used to run Dynamic Audio downtown but now run it in their own garage. (They carry licenses and have the permits to do it still) They charge $99 bucks for all windows. It's computer cut rather than knife. Tony & Thomas.

ps. looks like they have a front shop again. also they do taillight tinting for $60 bucks i think
I would call them because they seem to fill up every day. And they end at 2PM, I believe are also contracted by other shops as well. Things might have changed.

I went with Best Image in San Mateo for their price, I got quoted $160 for all windows, even after bringing up the $150 as some people on this forum got quoted. $10 wasn't worth the hassle of them thinking negatively of me.
Anyways, I just got my back windows tinted for $120 because I'm afraid of the cops
He even told me not to get the fronts done because cops are super strict right now. 
He told me I can get the fronts done whenever I want for $40 if I changed my mind.

^ Lol thats because you are a girl 
. I will have no luck when I see the lights flashing behind me. History proves it.
One of my lady friends got pulled over 3x in a week for talking on the cell phone. No ticket.
That same week I get pulled over for being on the phone, which I never put up to my ear except this one time. I get pulled over and ticket is immediately issued. Go figure.

Wow you're lucky. I wonder is it because I got pulled over by a cop who wants to give tickets. You know the ones camped by the corner of the road waiting to turn on their lights for anything illegal.
