Tint / overlays

Any advice on where to go for window tint and to install my taillight overlays? I was thinking of SoundSource in Oakland.

I did search but the results were pretty dated.

Vince @ Omega, does clear bras and tint pretty much anywhere. I haven't heard of him doing tail lights, but I'd ring him up first.

Search for Omega Werks, or Vince @ Omega and you'll find his number.

Go see Lyle at vinyl styles for the tail light overlays. He did mine a bit on the pricey side but he does good work and has done it on a bunch of GR hatches. Tint however he doesn't do so I'd go with Vince at omega as said above. He's talked about on many automotive forums all commenting on his great work. He's who I'm going to have tint my car when I'm ready.

Vince at Omega Tintwerks is AWESOME. He tinted my car and it has been fantastic.

For the tails, I'd go to Lyle. I haven't done any tail light overlays though.

Lyle might be on the expensive side but he does good work.

+1. For tail overlays, just DIY. Its pretty easy and straight forward if you take the time. Did mine 2.5 years ago and still looks good. Bought the overlays from bluebat

Man don't tint your taillights, that is just one more reason for the cops to pull you over.

Just red outers, not dark tint. Clear tails remind me of the early 2000s and riced-out Civics.
