Custom Window Tinting, 3week Waiting List!
 
I just called the owner of Custom Window Tinting(on wrondel way) and he told me there is a 3 week wating list :cry: Where else is a good tint place that will do darker than 35% with no hassle?

Rod at Custom Concepts will do it, he did mine no problemo...just have to pay cash, and you can't get a reciept, but they'll still honor their warranty.

ArthurS 2003-06-09 05:57 PM

Since Custom Window Tinting is that booked, I think Custom Concepts is the way to go. I have heard some horror stories about them though.

tysonK 2003-06-09 09:24 PM

horror stories like?


on a side note:
seems like an college grad mid-20's white guy can figure out how to tint his own windows, I mean all these places tint windows all day long, One guy tinting windows 10 plus hours a day it can't be that hard?, what kind of special equipment will I need?
*goes to google.com to look up the lore of window tinting*

My friend had his windows tinted in his civic there and it bubbled after 3 weeks, and they wouldn't do anything about it. He had a 5% tint.

I have heard bad from some people and good things from others. If they don;t have as long as a wait, then I would go there still.

Custom concepts did my 5% tint about a year ago and no problems so far. I used to work at the Kragen across the street, so I've known Rod for a few years. He's a good guy, if you tell him I sent you down he'll take care of you. He told me if anything happened to the tint that he would take care of it for me. But no problems after a year.

Guys my friend was just a bad apple or something. I will give them a shot. Khail, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for 5% all around?

Yeah, tinting is a pretty low tech: spray bottle of soapy water and patience... what's difficult is that you need a ton of experience to get good results. That's why those guy can charge so much for what's really like $10 worth of tint.

You all realize tinting ads weight high up on the car....

Gotta think about these things....

Hey Sergio, where is this place? Will they do illegal?

BOO 2003-07-03 09:51 AM

Hey Art,
I am not sure .. if they will but I can ask them .. This place is called "All Seasons" Window Tinting. Their Number is 786-4334, address is : 1915 prosperity st. (Over by Mark,Fore, & Strike)

ArthurS 2003-07-03 09:53 AM

HHHmmm......need.....window......tinting.....bad.

Do you know the guy over there? Do I need a appointment?

BOO 2003-07-03 11:58 AM

Sorry to get back with you so late but I had to have lunch.. i had the munchies.. :lol: :lol: Noo not that kind of party ... ok ok , thats why my new name right ?? ;) .. anyhow yeah he is kind of cool .. I will call him if you want me to ..
Just let me know

ArthurS 2003-07-03 12:05 PM

Yea, please call him for me. See what he can do tint wise, maybe 20% all around. I would want the one with the 3 year warrenty also, not the lifetime.

BOO 2003-07-03 12:08 PM

Ok , I will do so... if he agrees when can/do you have the time to do this?? Reason why I ask is , he might ask to book the appointment right then and there ..

ArthurS 2003-07-03 12:28 PM

Whenever he wants to do it. I assume he would want cash, so let me know how much before hand. Whatever it was, the 150$ish one. I don't need more then the 3 year warrenty.

So whenever is best for him I guess.
