I just bought an Accord coupe and am looking for a good tint shop preferably around the SW/Galleria area. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks
Star Auto Tint does a good job on tint. The local Audi dealerships contracts them to tint all their cars. I believe it is right off of Fondren and 59.
Can you still use the defrost with tint? The only non-factory tinit I ever had was on trucks but now want some on my car.
Yeah, unless it's the crappy/cheap tint. Those are the ones that turn purple and bubble up after a few months.
Stero Fx is good, i got my bmw 330i tinted there all four windows for 79 bucks. 20percent all around...try them out..its on 45 and west rd.. I have seen slim thug there if that makes any difference, the place is always packed, great repuatation Chilcutt
Good purchase. Check out driveaccord.net. Hope you enjoy your car as much as I enjoy mine. Speaking of... I am looking to get some after-market work done (HIDs, LED tails, Eibach suspension kit install, etc.). Which shop is best and affordable at this type of stuff?
I don't really know if there is a shop dedicated just to that. Usually you can do noses and lypo there also...oh wait...you said tint...nevermind. Carry on.
I used to recommend Executive Motoring to everyone but they are dicks when it comes to warranty work. Even when you have the extended warranty like I do they try their best to get out of doing it. It is very annoying dealing with them.
how much more does the "better tint" cost with the warranty? Shops carry different grades of tint? What % tint will make it hard for my blind-a$$ other half to see out of the back window?
Executive Motoring is my recommendation. Go to the location in the Galleria area - near Hillcroft and Richmond. I never had a problem with warranty - if you have problems just stop by Mon - Fri ... they do not do warranty work on the weekend. I tinted more than 6 cars there...installed stereo's, subs, speakers, etc... When I had issues they were nice and got things fixed quickly.
I've gotten two cars done there. Always friendly and good work. I also recommend Stereo FX (previously mentioned). I got my sound system re-wired ask for Samir. As far as aftermarket work; I've gone to a few places. Team Rush Motor Sports: bought parts there. Most of them I've installed myself. ASAA racing. Purchashed parts and installs. Good work and friendly service. I got my after parts/work done atleast 5 years ago. I still have my first accord which I did all the work to...160k and still running.
Hey they are quoting me 350 for a 2 door coupe with f1 pinnacle tint. Is that a ripoff or about right? I have a GPS so I need the reception to be clear.
What do you guys think Huper Optik tinting? Sounds like a new Tint well a new film on your windows that actually reduces the heat inside your car. Something really nice for Houston Weather. Huper Optik Video to Huper Optik
I got mine done at Executive Motoring in 2003. I have not taken advantage of my lifetime warranty. Mine has started to bubble, but tint is going to eventually bubble. It's not worth my time to get it fixed.
