Who did you speak with? I dealt with the white bald guy...I talked him down to $200 because all of my family has taken their cars to him. They do excellent work. You get a free car wash too...

Quick question - for those of you that got your tint done at Omega Tintwerks, do you happen to know what brand of tint was used?

Mine done at Auto Mall Tint Specialist in Fremont. Very good work and addresses the dot matrix very well too.

Went with Huper Optik film. More expensive film = more expensive to install, but superior to many other films out there imho.

Spend the extra $30 or so and upgrade to the ceramic (or maybe it was carbon, one of the 2). If you get the metallic, you will have radio reception issues in the G. Also if you have an alarm with a proximity(microwave) sensor, metalic will interfere with that too. Cell phone reception, wifi, gps(if mounted inside), etc...anything that uses waves will be fighting to get through the metalic tint, even though you can see through the tint, to rf waves it's like a metal shield. Just spend the extra $30 and do it right.
