So many little shops out here. Who has had good personal experience with a shop?

Looking for quality materials and workmanship.

I just had mind done 2 weeks ago with huperoptik over at:
STM Advanced Window Film Solutions, Inc
2464 W. Washington Blvd
Los Angeles CA 90018
M.213.216.8087 / O.323.732.9100

Awesome experience and quality install. Google them, you should get an idea.

i got mine done at California Tint, Inc - Rosemead, CA

good guys, i think i got mine done at 15% for $120 IIRC..google or yelp you'll see the reviews

been 6 months, no problems yet

+1

Huper Optik ceramic tint FTW. Don't settle for less. Worth the $$ and beats metallic tint hands down.

STM (Song's Tint Masters) is the Huper Optik authorized installer in that part of LA. Great place.

Got mine done at Advance Engineering in Alhambra

Make sure you get the film on the inside window rubber trim, or it will scratch the film with time

They are a little more then other shops but great job
$150+$40 for the window trim film

Had my C280 and 335I done there, not the best job
Not impressed, also when they cut the film they get a peace of your outside window rubber

hmm..ill have to look for that, havent noticed anything thus far

Don't know if I was bad luck, but both of my cars?
Beside they use a cheap film
When I took it back to them they did replaced it
but afterwards still have the scratch
They claim you need to clean from inside with thin towel between the window and trim

i guess we live and learn...hopefully its not the way u describe but if it is, then i wont be using them the next time...good lookn out!

When you posted this I was with Jay and Han getting the car done in Huper Optik! I was surprised and happy to read you had a good experience with them too, because these guys were fantastic.

We will see how the H.O. cures and lasts, but it looks good so far and the heat rejection is brilliant. It is pricey, of course, 2x as much as what it would cost for solargard/suntek type of stuff.

Was yours the Palladium C63 they showed me photos of?

Yeah Han and his team are awesome people to deal with.
maybe mine is Iridium silver tough.

Had a few cars done with HuperOptik tint down at Perfect Window Tint in Santa Ana. My personal A3 and C63, and gf's 335 and a friend's e46 M3. They also do commercial tinting for a lot of the corporate buildings down in OC.

Sal (owner) will treat you well, whether or not you tell him I (Max) referred you. Good luck!

Can you guys that did Huper Optik tell us how much you paid? Ive been looking to either do Huper or F1 Pinnacle Ceramic. Id rather go with F1, but the prices seem to be more than Huper nowadays.

oh just an fyi, STM is doing a group buy on the Huper Optik for $400 all around except windshield on the Mfest board.

Mine was $350 I think.

dont go to california tint, they cut a small hole around the door pin area of my friend's new bmw 535, he was so mad.

to change that panel cost him about $700

damn...this juss keeps gettn worse! ah!

maybe i dont know what to look for, but im lookn ok right now

I've been there too, CA tint did a good job....don't know what the poster above you is actually referring to...got to say spending 4-500 bucks for tint is

ADVANCE AUTO ENGINEERING, in Alhambra, i got my clear bra done over there, and it came out FANTASTIC, they also do tints as well. The owner is a really nice guy and has alot of experience with exotic cars (Carrera GT, LP640, 599GTB, etc) so his work speaks for itself.

Go see Frank at the Tint Factory - next to Al and Ed's on La Cienega just north of the 10 freeway on the west side of the street. Tell him Luke sent you...He does amazing work.

yep ceramic tint FTW!
Love it, love the glossyness even though its not what i was going for but heyyy, what a surprise! Stands out from others.
Pic in my sig

I went to Startronics in Santa Monica forgot the owners name but hes hella cool, most of the cars i saw in there were exotics and my car was in fear. He has pretty good reviews on the internet.

A Terrific Tint in Mission Valley, OC . I have had both 2005 S60R and 2009 C63 tinted and they always do a fantastic job. They use llumar.....

BTW, they charged $210 for all windows (except windshield).

I just had my brand new C63 done at Sunshield on Van Nuys today. My family and I have had 8-9 cars done by them and always had a great experience. Cost $155 for the C

my brother owns a tinting shop pm me if anything
