Hey guys,

Can you recommend me a tint shop that is cheap, use good grade films, and perform good labor? I'm in downtown LA and am willing to drive upto an hour. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Tim

Ask any police officer or CHP officer, they will refer you to a good&honest shop.

Had mine tinted (50% sides, 35% rear) and had a clear bra installed (bumper, partial hood, partial fenders & mirrors) for $720 total in Sherman Oaks back in the spring ( Sunshield Glass Tinting). I went there on the recommendation of a friend who had them tint his Mercedes SL 65 AMG (Mercedes-AMG). This friend also own a 2007 Corvette and a Lamborghini Murcielago coupe so I was confident that he wouldn't recommend a fly-by-night place. They did a great job on my Z.

song's is a good place to go if you want the higher tint quality. also theres california tint in rosemead for just regular tint. the huper optik tint provides better uv and heat protection.

np. i usually use california tint since they're cheap and tint for me is more for looks then anything else. cars look weird to me not tinted. for california tint you should go early when they open before it gets crowded and bring cash! tax is included with cash, i paid $110-$115 for all my windows on the Z. lifetime warranty and peter is always nice to deal with.
