Anybody know of a good place around socal that does tint with the Mole Skin? I got a quote from Visions Tint in Anaheim and they charge $285. Anybody know of any other places? Thanks in advance.

I had my windows tinted at Campbell Window Tinting in Huntington Beach. They weren't that expensive and also do moleskin (I think its $25 extra per window)

also, a good tint job with moleskin will run around $275 to $325.

Spend the $$$ and have some peace of mind.
