    Tint help

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out.
    I want to get some tinting done but I can't seem to find a Non-shady shop around my area. I live in Fontana 92336, thats near Rancho Cucamonga are there any shops you would recommend near me? also I would like to get your opinions on what % I should get, I drive a Volcano Black B5 I was thinking 35%.
    Thanks

    Tint Zone in Rowland Heights is probably 20-25 min away from you but IMO worth the drive for a good job.

    Re: Tint help

    Ummm calling them would be the best shot but I think they use several series of Solargard and as I recall, around $140 for 5 windows.

    Campbell in Huntington Beach. They did a great job. I got high quality, ceramic tint so it wasn't $140. But they do have a wide range of brands from 3M to Huper Optik.

    yup! I had couple of my cars done at California Tint....very good.
    and I also recommend Promax Motorsport in Alhambra! Top notch work.
    just look at what kind cars the customer brings to these guys, my goodness!

    I was charged $160 from promax about 2 years ago for a 5 window coupe titanium 35% all around, great work! flawless! life time warranty, johnson film, and does not fade.

    I've heard good things about Cali Tint in Rosemead as well... but getting further and further from the OP's location.

    Re: Tint help

    Yeah, these are getting a bit far out there. I would like to stay within a 10 miles radius but for a good tint I guess I will need to go for a drive. I check all these out and get a price for all of them and maybe this weekend I'll get it done.
    Thanks guys appreciate it.

    We can do it in house here at AE and were located in Chino, 91710. Let me know if you'd like a quote. Our guy uses Spectrum X films and has a lifetime warranty on it. He's done many ferraris, porsches, and other exotics for us and his work is top notch.
