Tint Shops Recommendations and Opinions?

Looking for a tint job on the 2002 CR-V, it is already equipped with privacy glass (tinted rear windows and rear hatch) but it doesn't seem to be much private . As I have seen, the Silver Metallic Tint is very nice, sleek on silver and provides a low visibility to the inside at distance even with light. Quotes, Recommendation Shops, Etc?

We really need some Silver tinting in the front windows! I know its illegal but how bout 1/6 strip.

Try Flash Auto Glass...........416-258-0060 ask for Ed.

No one in the city can touch his work. That's why he does most of the work for dealers.....ie.....Parkway Honda.....Chrysler....Ford....Gm.

And his prices are great too. ie......did my 93 civic hb......took off the ugly purple tints on the back side windows and the front doors......retinted them.......tinted the back hatch glass with ONE peice of tint....not multiply peices.....(rear window had no tint to remove....it was never tinted before I got the car) And tinted the top of the windsheild. Total cost......$220

Most Cars are UNDER $200.

Give him a call.......(they did both my parents cars.....mine.....my uncles.....as well as at least half a dozen of my friends cars as well. Great guy. Clean work.

He is also mobile.

WHat colour is your crv? Silver tint only looks good on some cars. On Si Veloz' s car, it looks sweet
But if the car is some color other than silver/black/white, it will definetley look weird. On a Crv, I'd go with black tints. My 2 cents

i heard some not so good stories from Tint King (ie bubbling, colour change etc). but maybe they've improved their workmanship recently though.

you can try FX Auto (http://www.fxauto.com/)

i got my sunroof tinted there and so far so good. the guys who work there are really friendly too.

Thats 5% all around

i got about a dozen tint charges, so i'd say just go with 5% in the rear, and 15-25% up front, it'll save you from being pulled over, trust me

scratchless, and lifetime warranty on them
PM me if you want the special code word for that price
