Where to get window tinting in Portland?

[DrummerJim50]

I actually don't have a Mazda anymore....but I do have an Acura RSX type S and am looking to get the windows tinted. We just moved to Portland, OR and I'm not sure where to get tinting done....any recommendations?

Also, from what I've read about the laws here in Oregon.....I can get all my windows tinted (except windshield of course) 50% legally and I must have a piece of paper available to a police officer which says how much tint I have. Kind of a weird law....50% film is allowed with 35% net visibility....I wish I could just get them tinted with 35% film. Is this law really held firm here in Oregon? Is it possible I could get a darker tint, but get a piece of paper that says they're only 50%? I know that's shady, but I don't care as long as no one gets in trouble.

2 shops i can recommend
Tommys window tinting
Pro-image

I got it at tommys and it was decently priced...like 130ish...i think
they did a fabulous job
pro image has had great reputation of their tinting, I've seen some cars and they look great
But pro image is in vancouver so it technically isn't in portland...
BTW welcome...enjoy the little sun we have while it last....

I called Tommy's today and they gave me a price of $195........you're sure it was only $130 and did you get a special deal somehow? So they did a good job....any problems or imperfections at all?

try Alexia out in Beaverton

Tommy's... yes. Go to him. $195 is about right.

I had my car done there a few months bac. He's cool and does good work.

I got my windows tinted earlier today at Tommy's for $195. Seems to have done a good job....I'll look at it more closely after it dries and cures.

Found another one out in Beaverton -Apex Restoration . They just did my buddy's RX8 and man it looked freaking tight. Also John who owns Apex is a huge Mazda freak

Johns done two of my Mazdas. And for 100 less than most of the other local shops. A+ shop, they stand behind their work.

Yeah the little freak pissed me off when he tells me to go to Alexia then like 4 months later he starts doing them.I'm almost thinking of having them take off this stuff and go darker just because I know his shop does such a sweet job.

^anyone know the # or where this john guy does his work at? I'm needing tint!

Oh, is silverish tint legal?

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

Yeah there wasent anything done to it i went to go look at it, and test drove it.

I recently had mine done over ad Speed Concepts. Granted, they are douche's, but they cut a deal, and the work is good. I went to John for the body work to be done on my car, but he wanted $1500 more than Precision in beaverton, therefore, I didn't even ask about the windows.

Granted, I do have a doctors note, but my tint is 25% on the front doors, and 5% all around back.

 

[UnNaturalinc]

Again I'll say it.... Tommy's Window Tinting.

Well since we are in th mood of giving out information on good shops, then does anyone know a good body shop in Beaverton, there are so many and I do not know which one to choose from.
