Where is a good place to get my windows tinted. I dont want to get my pants pulled down over the price, but I also dont want a half-assed purple looking tint job done on my car. Any of you MN guys have any suggestions for the Twin Cities area?

Please let me know!

Thanks,

They do tint, I'm sure it's done very professionally. They are right down the street from me. I've worked with them on other things and they are solid with good pricing. Good local shop run by some local dudes. Call them (phone# is in the link), and they will give you a price quote.
 
or check out mnsportcompacts (google it) i'm not sure bout the posting other forums url's up here and don't want to get myself into any trouble
 
my boy had his evo's windows tinted at Street Scenes tint in Spring Lake Park

Will these companies tint less than the legal limit(50%) (notcool) . I think I might have to wait until i move back home to Texas where 25% is legal.
 
Yes they will.. My protege was tinted 30 on the side and 20 on the rear..
 
I got a quote from Full Blown Motors of 199 + tax to do my MS3. That was any shade of tint too. MN has a horrible tint law...it was enacted in the early to mid 80's I believe...fuggers....

My car is black so going too dark would make it too "night rider" for me, as I'm going to get my stock rims powdercoated black...I think if I go too dark my odds of being pulled over would increase a lot. What does everybody think of 50%? Is it dark enough? I have yet to see what exactly is 50%, so I'm hoping it is.
 
dirtyd,
Don't do 50%. I had a friend that did 50% and you couldn't tell the diff from my car(no tint at the time) and his. I'll have to find the picture we took, it kept a lot of people from making that mistake. I think 35% is as far as you should push it. I never got pulled over once with 35% as well as many of my friends, but a few did get ticketed. Just don't end up next to a cop at a light or it's your ass.
(hah)(p5black)(five-0)
 
My guy will charge between 180-200 total...

I would do something around 30 or so.. 50 is pretty light...

This is where I had mine done too thanks to Tom. Very good work!!

Tinted mine to 30.
 
Street Scenes does good work, it was fast and about 230 for my Protege5.
Its black and i got 30% it looks pretty good, cops have left me alone since i got it about 6 months ago.
 
Just made an appointment at Full Blown Motors to have my tint put on tomorrow. I'm probably going to go with 35. Very excited!

this means alot coming from tom cause everything he does is quality. i guess this is where i will be heading also, and it sounds like they have some good pricing to
 
Just got my car tinted today and I gotta say it looks awesome. I went with the 35% tint and honestly...I can't believe its illegal. Must say though, its the exact tint I wanted before I even knew how dark it was going to be. Service was great!

Question though. They said that it would look like it had tiny little bubbles in it at first, but they will 'dry up' and will flatten out. Is this normal? I looked at it and it just looks like the adhesive under the tint or maybe just how they whiped it off??? Anybody else experience this?
 
Most of the bubbles should clear up..
