Question Tint Questions

I'm looking to get my rs tinted. For people in the area, is there a better place to get windows tinted then Silver Lining? They want 190, and first available date is June 2. Psst like I want to wait that long. Anyone have experience with other shops in the area?
Let me know.

Thanks,
MadMax

My good friend owns a car dealership in West haven. He told me the best around is Coastal Tinting in Milford 203-877-8468. I called for a quote and the guy said he has several kinds of tint. I told him I had a WRX and wanted 7 windows tinted. He said the price would range from $165-$225. He has Ray Ban tint and several other brands. Some have no warrenty and others are warrented for life.

Let me know if you are interested and maybe we could look into a group buy.

I NEED to tint my car SOOOOON.

Chuck

Edit. I aint no good english major.

Well to go up to MA to get tint, is a bit tooooooo far for me, so milford isnt as bad.
Chuck, Silver lining is warrenty for life too, they also do the rear window in one sheet not 2 like other places. When is first available date for place in Milford. I might just do Silver lining in Danbury. Since they are closer to me. Let me know a date and I'll decide what I want to do.

I called last week and he said it was like a 3 day wait.

Try to call him and see what he says. I have not had time to get my car there and get a ride.

I might be interested too. Depends on price and when. All I'm interested in is LIGHT tint all around. Maybe 50%... Something that could be mistaken for factory. Technically it's illegal to tint the front windows in NH unless it came from the factory that way...

Did they do your rear as one piece or was it two sheets of tint? How long is the wait for them? I just want legal tint all around, one piece rear window and lifetime warrenty and last of all no 3 month waiting period.

retsyn you are in?
suresh you are in?
that would make 7! i am going to go get my car detailed right now and i will ask him!
My phone number is 413-546-1636
We will see what prices i can get for 7 cars!
they charge the same no matter what the shade.
and my rear window is 2 sheets. they do what is called "hide a line" and honestly, you can not see where the line is on my car. not at all. i have had tons of people comment on the nice job. the rear window is 2 pieces and they use your defroster to hide the seam of the 2 pieces so there is NO WAY you can tell its there.
again, i will get the prices for you this afternoon!

Hey Mike!

If it's not too late, could I get in on the tinting deal?

I have a WRX and i'm looking to do 5 windows (minus the front doors). Basically, as dark as I can go on the sides and the back enough to look good while still being able to see out at night!

Thanks!
Oliver

Silver Lining's price makes Tint King in Bridgeport look even better at $140. I had an MR2 done there many years ago, and it looked great. I've also heard good things about that Mr Tint dude in Trumbull (one piece tint on the rear window).

Chuck Annicelli: My rex has 5 tintable windows, are you sure you need 7? =P
