It was a while a go, but I went to Executive Motoring for tint, and a Viper alarm. 6 years later, I had an alarm problem, and they said as long as I have my receipt, they'll repair it. The problem end up going away, so I never brought it back. But, the point is they're honest to honor that. Also, the tint was great.

I also went to Executive Motoring. They have tinted every car I bought for the last 5 years and have done an excellent job. Manager there is very honest and will even cut you a deal if you find it too steep. Good Luck!

I got my done at infiniti tint and alarm by 45/1960. They did an awesome job, no bubble, no scratches. They're contract out by the Honda dealership next door. The downside is that they won't do illegal tint.

I have always gone to the store on Gessner. They have a machine that cuts out the window tint shapes to the "T" for any car. Can't go wrong with that. They will try to upgrade you on the tint when you go in, so spend the extra cash, it will be worth it.

Good Luck!

hey guys, when going to executive motoring, what tint did you all get? I went yesterday and got the Black Max Titanium tint. Have any of you even heard of that brand?

I dont recall what tint (need to look at my papers) but it has a nation wide lifetime warranty through Executive motorsports and the manufacturer..they did an awesome job, and was in and out in less than 1.5hrs.

the tint I have is the one they have with the little heat lamp demo thingy, and it makes a huge difference in temps inside the car.

Executive quoted me $195 for 20% tint all the way around and removal of old tint. Its for the metallized one that blocks out x amount of UV rays. Should I go for that or just the reg 3M that costs $125 for tint and removal?

Honestly, Im leaning towards the 3M just because the temp inside the car doesnt bother me too much esp once the ac is on full blast for a bit and cools the car down. The tint thats currently on the car does a good enough job for me and its 11 years old with no peeling from factory. Only thing is that its turning purple. I dont think tint back then was as advance as it is now, right?
