    Unhappy Tint Shop? Just failed Recon

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Guys,

    Just got back from the recon place. I need it for my suspension. The suspension was fine, but my tints came in at 27%, lower than the minimum of 29%. I guess it came in so low because it's 35% over the super light tinted-ness of the stock glass. Frickin' recon is crap.

    So yeah, I need to get the tint stripped and re-tinted. Anyone know a good place to call?

    Thanks in advance,
    E

    i just had some work done by Smitty's Tint (does stereo installs also, and does AWESOME work) I can almost guarantee he is cheaper than ANY other place on island when it comes to tint... Jesse can probably vouch for him as well

    smitty's tint he works out of his garage, and only uses the best Film and has a Light meter to check the % when complete... I'll PM you his Cell number

    If you have minimal exterior mods cops won't mess with you. But if you frequent Waikiki I would get recon asap.

    Re: Tint Shop? Just failed Recon

    hehe, I am getting it because I need a safety inspection for the car. It expired last month and nobody would inspect it without recon. My car isn't too bad, so I haven't been hassled yet. My car is totally legal on Maui, so that was the card I planned on playing if I got pulled over. Plus, I already had the alignment done, so I might as well get the damn thing already.

    Hehe, I am already too deep into the process. If they give me any crap after I get the tints redone, I'll let you know. Thanks yo!
