To silver c230coupe on Westheimer in Houston, TX. I saw you come up to me and try to say hi. I'm really sorry but I just had my car tinted yesterday so I cant roll down the window. I tried to open sunroof and give thumbs up. Really clean looking ride you have. Hope to meet you again under better circumstance. Didnt want you to think I'm rude or anything

Keith

I called around and other tint places recommended me to go to this place. I was skeptical but they stated they are official tint place for MB of North houston and the person on phone knew about how metallic tint interfere w/ our rear glass etched antenna...etc so I went over there. I dunno what they did but 2 hours later my car was tinted (they refused to do illegal tint so I got 35-20-20). It cost me $135 and I have to wait 3 days at least until I can roll down...........so time will tell. I'd probably roll down on late Monday or Tuesday...........crossing fingers

Question

to tberry:

Is it SunTint at FM1960? I kind of found out about that place from speaking to the service advisor at MB North. I called the tint shop and yes, they'll only do legal 35 at front AND they only want to do the non-metallic tint for MB vehicles because of possible radio reception problem. One problem with non-metallic tint is that you just don't know how long they'll last (3 year warranty).

Do you know the name of the person who quoted you the price?

And since you have the non-metallic tint, AM works okay?

And please do reply back to this board later next week because I really would like to know if their tint will scratch (let's all hope it wont!).

yep thats the place. but u know i've had all my cars tinted and for some reason the legal tint looks nice and dark on this one. U can pay 199 for lifetime instead of 3 yrs but my car is on 3 yrs lease so thats good enough for me. yeah I realllllly hope there'll be no scratching. I bought my car from MB Greenway and they wont even do the tint (well they would but they say it'll void warranty b/c they may have to open up the door.....but they're the friggin dealer!!.....weird)
