Question Where to get tint in Bay Area?

I want to tint for my new FXT but don't want to just cold-call places. I live in SF and work in the east bay, so i am all over -- however, if there is a good place with good rates that does a good job, I'd be down to drive.

Any experiences you guys care to share?

I'd highly recommend Omega Tintwerks in Pleasanton.

Pleasanton may be a bit out of the way, but I'll keep it as an option.

I guess another question would be, does i-club have any affiliations with any tint shops in the Bay?

Omega for sure. Two of my cars and quite a few friends/relatives and ZERO complaints. Vince will take care of your tinting needs. He also does clear bra and offers a great package deal that I probably should've taken advantage of when I tinted the FXT.

I've never had my car tinted, but from what I've heard and seen on the forums, overwhelming Vince @ Omega Tintwerks. And I think you are suppose to mention I-Club or something.

I just called and he was really nice and gave me a great price quote. I may just have to make a special trip out there so he can do my FXT.

Does anyone know what type of tint he uses? I don't know much about it, but I know there are different brands (i.e. qualities).

When I got mine, it was Llumar with a limited lifetime warranty. You shouldn't need the warranty because his work is top-notch.

No bubbling. No discoloring. Tint goes to the edge of the window.
