I had all my windows tinted a while ago but would like the windshield strip for the summer. Anyone know of a good shop that is willing to do it since its such a small job?

Vince at Omega Tintwerks. I got all my windows (including windshield strip) tinted by him. Excellent work.

Expensive... more than double what I paid when I had my wagon done.

Was gonna take my wife's forester to Vince... love the dude. Killer work. Highly recommended. My buddy (another iclub member) called for a quote and it was almost $500 and the earliest apt was a week in to August. I'm not gonna wait that long or pay that much. I won't say what I paid to have 7 windows on my wagon done because I don't want to tank Vince's current prices. Things change and I'm sure his material costs are way up.

^^Holy ****. $500 is also way more than I paid and I got 8 windows tinted. But if he is booked until August I can see that having an effect on prices.

There are different quality grades of tints so be sure to double check on the pricing quote.

Nah. He does ONE car a day usually. Read yelp. When vince did mine I think I was there pretty much all day.

Id really like to give business to an active iclub supporter. We need to get a tinted on here!
