Tint shop recommendation
Can anyone recommend a good tint shop in the bay area north bay to south bay. I"ve got the WRB wrx and was thinking about going 35% in the front and 20% rear.
If anyone can post pics of there tint jobs with the % that would be great.
Thanks

5% all around 50% windshield.
It will probably be around 130-140 for all those windows to be tinted. windshield was way extra.

I've heard good things about Omega Tintwerks and Auto Mall Tint Specialist.
Usually the BMW and Lexus forums know the best shops around and that's what they recommend.

Ive had 35/20 on my last 4 cars. As for photos... search window tint. Im sure any of the 63 threads asking this exact question will have some.
Great shop, I know the owner and I am friends with the guy who tints the windows. Hit me up I can get you a good deal on the window tint at Blackout!

150 is stupid cheap, most of the decent films (ones that wont turn purple/bubble after a couple years) cost more than that in just material. Find out what films they are using, and also what like of film, 3m/Llumar etc all have a good highend/low end line. And if your out in the east bay Vince at Omega has done alot of tint for peeps on here.
G'luck!
