Hot tint?
 
HI,

Has anyone had experience with hot tint on 16879 Oakmont Ave. in
Gaithersburg?

I am going to get tints from them tomorrow.....
Please let me know if you had had any experience with them or heard about them?


Thanks,

nothing posted on http://www.the370z.com/mid-atlantic-...op-review.html

Post up in there afterwards so we can all know about it though!

jayl 06-06-2011 01:05 PM

thats the plan... was hoping someone had experience with the shop.

jayl 06-07-2011 11:50 AM

got here 15 minutes late... the work has not started on the Z... he said 20 minutes.. I am being patient for now... if I dont see any movement in 10 more minutes I will prolly want to leave from here...

what do you guys say?

Stuff happens... are they busy working on another vehicle? If so, gives you a chance to watch and see their work. If everything looks good I would try to hang on a bit.

thanks, yea they are working on another car... however its 1 hr after my appt time... and I am getting 2 cars done by them in a row...

ok they are pulling out the one car that was before mine...

He says the Z should take like 40 minutes... is this accurate?

birdmanx1 06-07-2011 12:06 PM

I would stick around Jay. You already made the time commitment to be there and get it done; an extra 20 - 30mn ain't too bad. If anything, it could give you the upper hand as far as money arrangement goes...always looking for the WINNING angle :tup: Pls let us know how it went as far as the tint.

jayl 06-07-2011 12:19 PM

so $ wise they are not going to budge... Z : 159 with lifetime blah blah... against blah blah

a 4 door sedan 179 with the same...

car going in now...

Roadster4Us 06-07-2011 12:21 PM

40 minutes or so sounds about right.
Take some pics if you get the chance.

Greg

jayl 06-07-2011 01:07 PM

almost done!!

Masa 06-07-2011 02:45 PM

Subscribed for later. :tup: Curious to see the quality of work, been thinking about throwing tint on my Z for a while now.

jayl 06-07-2011 03:00 PM

like the quality so far... currently waiting for car#2 to get done... Saw a few spots that I pointed out and the guy took care of it very happily...

He has also offered to do a special for the forums if we can get 10 people to get tints on the same day...

eastwest2300 06-07-2011 03:16 PM

Yeah, I'd like to see pics of their work..

jayl 06-07-2011 03:21 PM

Lets just say I went with "35%" ;) they did a huge brow that I am not sure about now... dont know if I should take it back to get it cut or removed...

let me know once you see the pic's if you guys think the brow is toooo big..

b1adesofcha0s 06-09-2011 11:52 AM

Will do :tup:

eastwest2300 06-09-2011 05:27 PM

b1adesofcha0s 06-09-2011 05:32 PM

Are you going to be at the MD meet next Saturday? I could definitely check it out in person then. You have the Platinum Graphite too, right? Always wondered what my car would look like with "35%" tint. I have 35% on mine :icon17:

If you DD your car watch out for the little roll down the window does when opening the door it will peel the tint. I got in my car befor tinting shut the door and unhooked my window controls to stop this from happening. Let just say I had to have my windows redone befor finding out. Car looks good can't beat a good tint job to enhance looks.

b1adesofcha0s 06-09-2011 09:29 PM

Looks good :tup:

Thanks I do DD it!! Did you roll down your windows right after getting tints? The shop told me to not roll down the windows for 5-6 days...
Hopefully it helps.. but its covered so if they peel....

Masa 06-09-2011 09:57 PM

Looks good!

You know, if you got rid of the windshield banner and got your tail lights tinted, you and b1ades could be twins :rofl2:

eastwest2300 06-10-2011 12:40 PM

Yeah buddy, my Z is black, but Im rocking that 20% tint all the way around, I use to tint windows when I was going to Florida State Univ., and my buddy that I use to work with at the tint shop lives up here, he hooked me up for free. I lost my window tinting skills a long time ago.:ugh2:

I don't have 20%, I have "35" % and blades has 35%.... :p so we will have to stick with being color blind

b1adesofcha0s 06-10-2011 03:55 PM

But if we stick with being color blind, then all 370Z's that have window tint and tinted tail lights will be identical :icon17:

jayl 06-10-2011 04:07 PM

well said! :tiphat:

no more color blindness

b1adesofcha0s 06-10-2011 04:16 PM

Yes! I can see colors again :woot:

hahaha...:icon18:

Just my personal opinion, 35% is nice, most likely legal around here, Im not sure what the laws are, each state is different. But I had to have 20%, I like for people not to be able to see clearly into my car. Thats just me, though.:tup:
