it's sad when I have go the Mid-Atlantic thread to get my chat on. Common guys

Last night I met up with Happyman from this forum (he's from Florida on a business trip in Chicago, Drives a MB 09' sport touring with custom green calipers, tow hook, engine bits) He's a good guy. Was going to invite more of you to have a Z type meet, but this was last minute.

In other news, I shall be competing with Sean this year

What other tinters have people used here? Umbra and my schedule just arent aligning and I would prefer to get tinted before summer starts.

The Dimer · 04-26-2013, 01:27 PM

I'll be at Supercar Saturday.

As for tinting, I'm not sure where you're at, but I went to Sunset Glass in Woodridge. I got my car done and my buddy got his Mustang and later his F150 done too. No complaints from either of us.

b15 · 04-26-2013, 01:31 PM

Im in the naperville area. What kind of tint do they use? Any opinions on 3m vs formula one tint? My last car had johnson and it held up well but doesnt seem like many shops use them.

lll be at Supercar Saturday as well as the premeet.

I just got my car tinted today at UMBRA. I made the appointment 3 weeks ago. While I was there, Nino was taking an unbelievable amount of calls with people wanting to get their cars tinted. He is now booked four to five weeks out.

Nino actually did my car. He did a great job and it looks really good. They use the Formula One tint. I got the Pinnacle series. It this the top of the line he carries. He is worth the wait, although I am sure there are other competent installers. I can't give you any references unfortunately.

I mentioned I found him via this forum and he took off $40.00. Not bad.

Good luck.
