What Window tinting shops do you guys use, and how much did you spend? I can't stand being untinted, I feel so exposed lol.

Welcome, we are having our weekly meet this Thursday at Hooters off 59 inside the 610 loop if you want to meet some of us.
On the tint, it depends on what level you want? Basic tint should run 100ish dollars but more advance tint can be 300-600 depending on the level.

it might be a little far from you but I always get my tint from Stereo FX off i-45..they have the Cermeric...crap, "metal tint". to do your back window, corner pocket and side windows will cost you $80. i know "you get what you pay for" but i had their tint on my last car for 8-9 years and it didnt turn purple on me.Was in really good shape when I traded it in actually and you have a 1-2 year warranty just in case it bubbles or you roll down the window before it dries

I actually have their tint on my z now

i cant remember where i got my tint. It a little place off of I-10 in Katy. Took em like 20 mins and looks good. I think I paid $150 for all the windows. They wouldnt even talk about doing limo tint though. But I'm glad I didnt anyway, this car is hard enough to see out of.

Does Kool -Karz offer a warranty? $150 for top of the line tint is an awesome deal.
