greetings,
was quoted 200 for titanium tint all around at local shop . what do u guys think....read post regarding metallic tint and cell reception, is it really bad as it seems...
ps. any good shops in orange county,

 

Don't know much about the metallic tint you've been quoted....I had my tint done at Mike Tint Shop on Beach Boulevard in Buena Park. They did a great job.....seven windows on the E for about $150.00 I went with regular tint though...

 

thx mbz, will try giving them a call. btw, did they offer felt strips for the windows seals so the tint dont scrape?

 

My Korean guy will do it for $140, front and back, he will shave the tint to the edge of the window, so they look as if they had been dipped into tint and not film tinted. He will also cut the rubber trim that causes the scratches on the windows at your request (I taught him that trick )

He's in Rowland Heights, CA.

thanks doc,
u happen know his name and who should i tell referred me. doc that is with nonmetallic tint?

 

He uses non-metallic tint. Solargard.

 

ask for Dave or David, forgot what he goes by. Tell him Mike from San Luis Obispo w/ the black Mercedes sent you. I did 4 cars w/ him so far.

 

alright doc, i will give him a call. will let u know how it goes.....swaying on solargard instead of metallic tint for cell phone reception avaiability.

 

$150 sounds right to me, but do ask for warranty.

 

try a shop that uses film by:

Anybody interested in Ceramic window tint? It's made in the Fatherland by Huper Optik and is installed by WinTech in Costa Mesa or at your location (L.A. / S.D.)

The film is amazing ... fantanstic thermal/solar rejection, so if you have a dark car with dark interior, give them a look. I liked the film so much I even installed in on my front windshield (damn near clear but still has good thermal properties). It is a joy now to get into the car (Black with Black) that is cool inside.

The only drawback - it's bank. 5 windows cost me $450 installed, lifetime (mfg) warranty ... at my house. Also, the film is thicker than most and requires several days for the moisture between the glass and film to evaporate.

Give it a look ... check the pics of my 500E
