anyone can recommend me a good place in NorCal for windows tinting?
san fran/san jose/oakland...
thinking to take off my front license plate and tint it
20% or 35%... still deciding...

 

Go to www.automalltintfactory.com. Talk to Sidney. Tell him Gary Leung sent you. I got my Mazda6 done there, and I got EXCELLENT and SUPER fast service from them this time as well. Pay cash and go on a weekday to get extra savings. I got 50% front, 35% (or was it 30%) rear, and 20% in the back.

 

How much is it there?

 

+1 of automalltintfactory.

give him a call and get a quote. priving really depends on what type of tint and what %. check out the website. he sometimes has deals going on.

 

i'll go check out next week then

what would you recommend? Huper Optik or Suntek HP?
I'm leaning toward Huper Optik 30% right now

 

I went for the Suntek both times, because it's cheaper. I believe the Huper Optik is the ceramic one, so more $$$. You shouldn't have to pay more than $200-250 for the rear windows + rear windshield. It's a little pricier because it's 1) nor cal, and 2) AutoMall Tint Factory does mostly high-end vehicles.

 

omega tintwerks in pleasanton. vince runs/owns the shop. he does an amazing job and has very reasonable rates. he uses llumar tint which has a lifetime warranty and certificate you can take anywhere in case there are problems
