They have too many kinds of tints even for the front windshield, special ones where you can't tell but does the job, prettty badasss. The tint job I want is more than 600 bucs, so im saving up

180 for a windshield? I appreciate a high end tint shop as much as anyone else (I used tintpros for my formula one all around)..however, that price is unacceptably high.

Don't quote me on this, but I got quoted around $180 for the front windshield w/ their high-end film.

It was obviously too rich for my blood.

Tintpros is good shiet too...180, yeah it shouldn't be that much, next time just bargain it or have me talk to them, either way we got team gift-certificates for any friends that wanna go there, 25 dollars off. I'll pass them out at the next Spectrum meet, just go holla at me or one of the team members.

Tinting the windshield is just asking for tickets. Dont be surprise when you walk up to you car and you see a ticket under the wipers.

I recently did 5% rear / 15% front on my black obsidian. Hopefully I won't get hassled...

^ That's what I'm talking about bro!!!


Back on tint shop subject, go to campbell film! (They also have cop warranty package, which means u get a ticket u can get it removed for free, or some-what, check out the deal they offer).

I'm sick of seeing hole in the wall tint shops and momma/poppa shops...who cares if its cheaaap, we drive Gs not Hondas, let put good shiet on our cars

FYI: I got pulled over on sat. apparently for my exhaust but got a fix-it ticket for my front tints instead. I have 5% in the back and 20% front and at the time I had my windows rolled down which they asked me to roll up to check. btw this was in l.a. ktown area. I'm going to redo the tint after I get the ticket fixed (thinking going darker )

125 is cheap compare to all the other quality places I go too. That's not even alot for the quality, service and experience of their master tinters they use. My tint from the inside doesn't even look like you have dark tint at all and I can seee, go outside and it's Limo LOL. Of course it depends on the driver itself for what they're looking for.

I hate the good ol using razor blades placing film over ur window and cutting it, i rather have them print it out where it fits oem to your window already and have them make it fit from there.
