Need Tinting...again lol
Hey, I've been doing some window-tinting shopping lol. And the prices after tax are like $230-$350, and I'm just wondering....is there any other ways to get your car tinted than by taking it to like Pearl auto care, and all the other places.. I remember telling me that Pierre knows someone that does tinting, anyone know about this?
Thanks a lot

Hmm I say pay $200 and go do it in the shop. cause what ever goes wrong like colour fade, bubbles, cracks , they will redo it any time. it's one time job for your ride so it's worth it to spend $200. or if you can talk in to the guys, I did mine at $200 cash

Rep Power: 0 I got 4% in the rear and 15% all around so for you it would be 5% for the back window and the little side windows on the rear doors and 15% on the sides but I think in Quebec you can't tint you front doors Im not to sure on that but it is something you should check into before you start..

Rep Power: 291 k-man, Landin and myself both have quantum, (and the darkest one that they make) They have lighter ones, and it looks amazing when it's cloudy outside becasue there is a metallic film inside the tint that reflects all the clouds and suck back, so it's really nice. Pearl does that style.

Rep Power: 0 OK, I just talked to the tinting guy at Derand...and he was really pushing this Millenium tint, that is silver. I have a silver civic....And I think it would look hot, but its gonna be about $100 more than a quantum tint.
He told me quantum tint is garbage, since it has a slight green look to it, and since you can somehow instantly tell there is tint when your on the inside, as opposed to millenium, because with millenium tint, you cant tell that there is any tint when looking from the inside....
What do i do guys !!!!
These tinting people are playing with my mind lol

Hey Mark this is the other Marc...
Me and Catherine went to Derand and the Silver tint is awsome but is just too much money for me right now ..They charge 200 for Lumar tint plus taxes and 300 plus taxes for the Silver Lumar tint...
I got the reg tint 35% (Lumar) for all of the windows for 75 bucks..Its 3 bucks a foot for reg Lumar and 6 per foot for the silverish tint....
If you got the cash then do it but im a cheap son of a bitch and rather do it myself...Im gonna try doing the rear window myself also ....
Let us know what you do...

He is all hands on on evrything and quotes all the prices for everything ..He has no staff and now drives an accent..His mustang Gt convertable was tottaled.. Its like you can see that he's come down from his high ways....
Doesn't matter who you are but if you make a dollar and spend a dollar 50 your gonna go down the tubes...

Rep Power: 291 Mark .... Derand is overpriced. What that guy told you about quantum is bullshit. and I'm speaking from experience, as you know I have this tint. From the inside, it will look like ANY other tint job. The millenium tint will FADE after a few years and DISCOLOUR. you do not want that.
You goto any tint place and ask them about quantum, they will tell you is a good tint. This green colour he is talking about is a lie. It has a metallic colour to it .... and I assure you it is not green. He doesn't know what he is talking about. I'm sure if you asked him if the millenium tint will fade, he would have told you no .... again thats a lie.
dude stay away from derand
