Window Tinting - Recommendations?

[JustSomeDude]

Looking to get the driver and passenger windows of my Jeep Cherokee tinted to match the rear doors and hatch. Anyone know of a good/reliable shop in Denver?

[Sully]

There is someone on the board that does it but I can't remember their screen name :(

I went to Denver Window Tint. It's next to Vickery Motorsports on Parker Rd. They did a great job on my car.

Guessinthe2000 does window tinting.

[~Barn~]

I got my car done at this place out in Louisville. It's called Eclipse tinting, and they did an awesome job.

Tell Eric that Barn from the "Mazda Forum" sent you, and he might cut you a deal. :dunno:

[Zach929rr]

I had guessininthe2000 do my windows on Easter Sunday (!). He did a really good job as well. Will be bringing my girls jeep to him soon too.

Also, he was matching my fronts to my factory-tint rears.

[eg bter]

hmmm I just need one window tinted.

[Gainer]

These guys do great work if you don't mind coming down to Littleton.

Thanks for the info guys! I'll have to call around and do some price checking with those shops.

I appreciate the friend tips, but I think I'll probably stick to a shop. I've heard horror stories from the "buddy of mine" drive-way tinting jobs, and prefer to have a shop warranty against bubbling, peeling, etc.

A Touch Above Window Tint in Thornton on 120th is the greatest place I've ever been to. I had him tint my WRX, G35, and wife's Jetta and he did an amazing job on all 3. If you do some googling, you can find various forum threads where car clubs come from other states just so this guy can do their tint. When I took my G35 there, I asked how long it would take and the girl at the front desk said "well, it usually only takes a couple hours, but he's a perfectionist and if he doesn't like the way it turns out, he'll take it off and start over."

These guys gave me the best quote, and sounded the nicest over the phone, so I'm gonna give them a try. They said they used a dark green based tint and not that shitty purple. But Denver Window Tint says they use a charcoal base. Can anyone comment on the appearance difference?

That's pimp!

[sugarrey]

All American Window Tinting (on evans) did my 325xi. Killer job, they give you a choice between the metallized and non, also different vendors like 3m and others. They are the highest ranked tint shop in the area I believe (on citysearch anyways), which is all user opinion based (or supposed to be). This is 13% or 15%, 20 was too light, 5% you will get stopped. Got all 5 windows and a visor for $200 I believe, took them bout an hour.

Mine are too dark for night... :( Probably should have just got the legal tint.... but my tint effin' rawks !:rock:

Werd. Sam did mine and did an awesome job. Lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car and at an awesome price too. :up:

These are the guys (IDS) that tint the Lambos and do all the clear bras on them for Denver Lamborghini and they have done a few cars for me. So yeah, they do a great job!!!

[thatmofo]

Just funny how you're location is Five Points. I wouldn't have known where in the hell that was if I didn't end up there a few days ago.

[wankel7]

These guys in Boulder did my Focus Wagon...they did a great job!

[guessinthe2000]

I'm the guy that a bunch of people in here were talking about. DONT do the green tint do the charcoal. That's what you want. Your back windows are always 20% since they are factory. I charge $50 to match the front windows. For the guy looking to match one window(it would be $30).

My background as a tinter- I worked for a shop that did all the GO dealerships on Arapahoe. 3 yr experience under my belt. I'm the tinter for forums like conoc.net, awdpirates.net, highaltitudeimports.com,etc.. I have nothing but good references and good prices. I use suntek window films. Guarantee my job and film and if you think your car is to nice for me to tint.... I've tinted from Honda Civics to Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Vipers, etc... :up:

Sam (guesssin2000) just tinted my windows on my car and they turned out great! No bubbles, streaks, scratches, and hardly any water trapped. Very cheap on price as well! :)

<08-WRB STI owner.. How much do you charge? Do you have the overlays already? How sturdy are they?

[guessinthe2000]

Some of the other stuff we do as well

Honda RC51. It had a stock tank with race fairings... It looked pretty ugly before the wrap to be honest. The fairings were just primered. We wrapped it on 3M DiNoc Carbon Fiber Vinyl.

That looks fantastic! I can't wait to see it on the bike. Makes me wonder if I should consider this vs painting?

I should have known it would happen, while 99.99% of the taillight conversions are red to clear, there has to be somebody who wants to go the other way...

What really happened is that Subaru went with the Altezza tail lights. Most people don't like them because they are hella ricy... so they rather change them than have that look.

We are now offering HID kits. The HID kits themselves are DDM they have a lifetime warranty against any defects from manufacture. Our installs include 35 watts HID kit and harness (we don't do 55watts because there is a possibility the kit may get to hot and melt the inside of your headlight). At $90 dollars for a kit and an install it doesn't get any better.
