It is a place in Santa Clara. Let you know, I did 2 cars there now... 3 and my friend did another. Just depends it won’t be like $1000 Orion or whatever from Pleasanton, but they look like they did do a good job with 3m colorstable for $300 cashCorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:45 pmWho did your tint, and what do you think of them?
I'd still like to do the 911 and the shop I had do the Golf R was "just okay".

This is the place. Give me a day or so I want to see if I have any issues with the install. Usually need to wait 48 hrs or so for all the little imperfections to go away etc.

So far tiny tint streaks and bubbles have gone away. But I am i believe any of this "tint makes car cooler" BS. Car doesn't feel cooler... but it does provide a bit more privacy.
update... Supposed title is out for delivery... will it be part of the docs remains to be seen.

El oh El just another way to waste more money. Oh well... tinting doesn’t work for temps whether you get the film or regular... but I do like it for privacy

I got a sunburn once driving my 30% tinted Scion tC in Arizona.
That was the last car I had tinted.

update.
I got the title
Also previous owners name is ... wait for it ... John... it was a John Cunnen in a John Cooper works
Naturally they didn’t mail me the car fax that was promised but at least the important shit is here... a solid 4 weeks to get a mfking title that doesn’t look printed or anything and signed by the prior owner so they literally sat on this shit for weeks.
I hated this process so much. Gross incompetence.
To add a bit of a creepy twist ... azn Zillowed his house and found another mini up front ... so it seems like
John really liked his coopers
