Choosing a Tint Shop all depends on what tint product you want installed.

Mr. Tint in San Jose uses Solargard ceramic

Auto Mall Specialist in Fremont uses 3M Crystalline

Goshan at Elite comes highly recommended and does a lot of P-cars using Huper Optic

Premier Protective Films in Fremont works on Tesla and a lot of high end cars and uses Prestige Spectra Photosync

These shops are listed in order from least ($500) to most expensive ($900).

bayareas1krr - please post pics when you have yours done. Love to see the results. Thanks.

Looking forward to seeing your pics once it's done.

Looks like I have little more research to do on what I want. Had no idea there was so much different options. Thanks for the info.

Rocky Mountain tinting in Livermore (not too far from SJ). Matt the owner is a master craftsman. Go there! You will be glad you did. Be sure to make Aptmnt because he's very busy.

Had my e90 done years ago for about $400 with pinnacle F1. Buddy's 2 series was done a few months back for $369 (everythinf except front windshield).
