i got my G tinted in BC, canada when i last went there, 35 % all around.....dont even know the brand but it sure looks good....just cost me $180 Cdn.

I am planning to tint my other car (X5)......can you guys please recommend me good tint shops in east bay.......how much should i expect to spend.....and also which brand are you most satisfied with?

I never had a way with 'search' option here so couldnt find any thread on this topic....

Any advice will be highly appreciated....

 

vince at omega tintwerks in pleasanton or...

sid lee at www.automalltintspecialist.com in fremont.


sid did my hupers and vince did my overlays and clear bra...both guys are perfectionists...can't go wrong with either.

 

All my cars were tinted at Window Tinting plus in Fremont, not sure if they are still there tho, among those mentioned? the Automall and Omega seem to have best reputations here and on Bimmer boards for window tinting.

It cost me 200 bucks for each car with all 5 windows plus moonroof using Suntek HPs which is on the lower end of the films, with same film uesed at Automall? Sid quoted me couple years ago was 325 or 299 with cash.

 

expect about $220 us

 

Yeah, it's still around and i believe you can find a $20 dollar off coupon too on their website.

I got my car done at Omega Tintwerkz and it came out great.
I would also highly recommend Premier Mobile Aesthetics Group and Automall Tint Factory

 

Thanks for all this information...guess i would call around for the quote and brand of film each shop uses....

 

Which brand fil do you have on you car.....mettalic/ceramic? How much did it cost you///

 

I got the SunTek carbon because it came in a 45%, but Vince normally uses Llumar. Both are non-ceramic tints with no metallic properties. Vince is on Summer pricing, so the prices are gonna be a tad higher than his winter pricing. I had mine done earlier this year with the winter prices for 240ish i believe.

 

Vincent at Omega Tintwerks did mine.
Mention G35 Driver and he'll give you a discount.

 

Did you get Suntek too?

 

he uses llumar metallic, which does have metallic properties

 

Are metallic films really bad for radio.....or are they live-able? I dont have NAV, just worried about AM radio

 

i havent' had any issues with NAV and FM. don't listen to AM though

 

I never listen to my radio but haven't had any problems with the nav.
