Can anyone in the 813/727 recommend a good tint place? And how much did it cost you? Looking to put some 10%s in, thanks

there is a place on 4th street & I think 38th Ave in St. Pete, I can't think of the name but they have been in business for over 30 years.

MosDeft

Thanks DJ, you think they do 10%s?

DJ_SpaRky

they will only do what's legal, I think. 35 on the fronts & 20 on the backs & 5 on the rear I think that's the legal limits, but they might have a waiver or something.

MosDeft

Cool, thanks Sparky. Anyone else have recommendations?

Hey man I'm ne to the site but I'm from the Brandon area. If you havent done your windows yet I know a great shop to go to. It near the corner of Hwy 301 and SR60 in Brandon. The shop is called Alley Cat Customs. He has done 2 cars for me, and 3 or for family. I'm actually driving down there in 2 weeks just to get my windows tinted on my new TC. Call 813-622-8594 and ask for Bill. Tell him CJ sent you. The guy does a kick ___ job and will do whatever you want. Might have to add an extra dollar for like 5% or 10% but its worth it

MosDeft

Thanks for the tip CJ, what did you get done on your other cars and how much did Bill charge you?

Well my latest was an altima and that was $250 for 20% quantum(sp) all the way around, an 8" glare strip and 50% down the whole front windshield. The one before that I dont remember the price but I had like 5% on a hatchback and I paid like $150 or something. I have my mom's 06 maxim done and i paid $200 for 35% all the way around. I have had friends drive from SC to get there windows done by him. I'm not sure how his prices compare, but he does an amazing job, does whatever I want no matter the law, and if anything happens to it he'll take care of it. That is as long as you are retarded and screw it up on purpose or something.

I got mine done at Buzz Off on dale mebry. I got darkest legal on mine, but they will go as dark as you want as long as you pay cash. Don't remember how much it was but i think around 170. It can be cheaper, but I went with the 3M tint that has the lifetime warranty.

MosDeft

Borisimo haha, I called those Buzz-off fools the other day. He kept using the term "over the phone" when referring to certain tints. "Yea, OVER THE PHONE 20%s are the darkest I can sell you." They said they were running a special for $99 on the 20s. I went to a small local shop over in Largo. I haggled the old guy to $100 for 15%, he kept saying how hard it is to do tCs

Hey I just got mine done at Alley Cat cost $180 for 20 all the way around. it looks damn good!

MosDeft

Fudge, I got little bubbles all over my tint. Man, this is gonna suck if the dude won't honor or fix his shoddy work...
