i have contacted precision tinting in orland park, but they want $450 for huper optik tint. i was hoping for it to be alot cheaper. i have read on this board that down in florida some people have gotten it for 250-300 range. any help would be much appreciated.

I can recommend a place in Indianapolis if your willing to drive 2 1/2 hours. It's not the huper optik but they did my e46 and my Pathfinder. 17% on my 325 paid $145.

I went to Car Boutique in Schaumburg and a guy with 25+ years doing tint did my e90. Overall nice job. $325. Pics before and after a 55% VLT Madico tint are shown here:

I had my car tinted at the dealership in Fla and ended up with a fairly crap job. I'm curious however, about the nubby spot at the top of the rear window...the tint there looks like it never dried properly. I think that might be a common problem, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?
I'm going to have all of it pulled off and redone (in the Chicago area), will probably want 25% and won't want to pay over $400 or so...any additional recommendations? |
