Just moved from Michigan to Tampa Florida, and want to get my windows tinted since it's legal here. Looks like the limit is 28% (wish I could get away with darker...).

Any recommendations on where to go or what brand to use? The Infiniti dealer said they have a lifetime warranty, price is $250 for standard of $499 for some "nano-technology heat reducing tint". Anyone in the Tampa area have a good/bad experience somewhere?

Also, if anyone has any ideas/pics of how dark 28% is that would be great. I'm guessing you can still see in the driver side window pretty good at 28% (not sure...)

Thanks!

 

some old pics of my car with 30% all around



& then the day my car got paintballed but you can see the tint pretty well in this pic.

 

thanks man, that gives me good idea. How much did a job like that run you?

 

I got the rears done for 130 back in the day then had a buddy do my fronts for $40 (he was starting out doing tints & I was his second customer so it was like a chance kinda thing & he did a good job)

 

I have 30% on mine (wish it was darker too)

 

dealership isn't usually a good place to get tinted, you can likely get it for much cheaper. You'll prob want to search google/yelp/your area's section on driver to see if there are better places. I can tell you those prices are really high, but comparing cali to MI probably doesn't make any sense/compare.

 

I just got mine done and I travel through a good amount of states, 30% all around, soon to be 50 up front . It also a decent good amount of dark at night.

 

WTH who paintballed you?? Did those dent or discolor your paint??

 

My cars in for a full paintjob right now stay tuned

 

Lol WTF $500 for tint? I wouldn't pay more than around $200, and at $200 you can get a respectable job done with great tint brands and lifetime warranty on them.

 

Haha yes but is it "nano technology"? Just kidding... thanks for the heads up, I'm going to head to a few different places today and scope it out

 

That was the STEALERSHIP, of the $500 they'll keep $300 and the tint guy might get $200 if he's lucky. Why would anyone consider the Infiniti dealership for anything other than warranty work? I've got 35% 3-M tint and it's been on since '04 and still looks good....no color change. Todays economy that new reflective tint shouldn't cost more than $200 at a tint shop.

I got mine done at Brandon Car Stereo shop. Not far from Tampa, 140 lifetime, shop has been there since I have been here, going on 40 years.

 

I got a quote for $150, the guy says he uses solarguard. Is that good quality? Comes with a lifetime warranty, the place got good reviews on google

 

They have tinted 6 of my vehicles and I've never had an issue. Maybe it was 150 an not 140 I can't remember, pretty close. They have always done me right.Check my "Garage" for the latest tint from them. I don't remember the % but it's dark.
