he does tinting and clearbra... i got my tint done by him... 270$ for Huper Optik and i believe clearbra would run for 800$...

i think he does cars for a SF BMW Dealership too... so i know he's gonna do a good job

Are you sure $270 for Huper Optik?

This is from an email they sent me back in Nov, before I had the car;
"The price that we usually charge to tint a 3 series with Huper Optik ceramic film is $495 and with our website discount, you are looking at $470 if you charged it or $450 if you can pay with cash."

Man if it was only $270 I would do it in a flash. LOL

[just4kickz]

thats what I paid... I can email him on your behalf... and see if he can do that lower... but then i'd need your name

I got the tint and clear bra done at the same time, added a reflective monoceramic tint to better match the Arctic

Hi just4kickz, i dont recall redoing any back windows of any car as of late. Touch-up of the dot matrix area due to improper curing yes, but not a redo. I have no control over the curing process whether the customer garage it or park it outside in teh hot sun. Im the owner/installer and i make shore that everything is perfect as perfect can be before the keys are handed over.

Mad props to Simon at Cleararmor in San Carlos...he did my Audi ...excellent job...

I got my car done by Vincent at Omega Tintwerks and I could vouch that he does an excellent job with the tint. Great customer service, very friendly, and I have no doubt he'll hold true to his word that he guarantees all his jobs.

Unfortunately though, he used some 'other' brand (can't remember the name off the top of my head) for the bra that I heard from people on the boards doesn't hold up as well and doesn't offer as much protection. I'm sure you could make a special request if you prefer 3M or whatever. There's also some air bubbles at some spots of the bra, which I'm sure could easily be removed by him, but it's just too damn far for me to drive back there, so I haven't gotten it fixed yet.

I paid about $850 cash for both bra and tint. If you ever come out to the meets, I could show you what it looks like.

just4kickz, is that a special price you got for the Huper Optik? That's a very sweet deal! I'm looking for some place closer for my dad to get his car done, and if it's just 270 for Huper, then it's really worth it.

Vincent did my clear bra and tint, I couldn't be happier with it.

Mine doesn't have any bubbles or anything and looks perfect..you actually have to look for the clear bra, its hard to see unless you are really looking for it

I would highly suggest going to vince

I'll post up pix in a couple days once I clean the car up.

Hmmmmm.....ill try anything once. Just bring her (the HO) and ill try to tint her. You want her lightly tinted or darken up Limo 5%?

I just got my tint done by Vincent last Saturday (3/10/07) and he did an excellent job. He was very professional and at the same time very comfortable to be around. He's a car and bike enthusiasts and it was fun talking and hanging out with him while he did my car. I would highly recommend him. The rear window dot matrix turn out great cause last weekend the sun was out and my car was parked outside all weekend during the day. I am very pleased with his work.

Hey Vincent my other two friends want to get their cars done two but I know they lag. Hopefully they’ll hit you up for an appointment next week.

He just did the lip for me since I was waiting for the paint to cure on it

I was @ a meet last night and people were amazed at how hard it is to see the line

Sorry shadowcoder. But i can direct you to a friend that does if you like? We receive new offers and sample from new film companies all the time. We dont offer a lot of them because either they are new to the market or dont offer lifetime warranties. HO Ceramic are 5 yrs warranty. You have to wonder why 5yrs if it such a good product. my.02

So I spoke with Gerardo and he showed me on their computer that you have
suntek at the back window and the rears, and HO at the front. And he did your
car for $380. I mentioned to him that you got your tints done by him at 270$
for Huper Optic and he said that never happened.

Uh Oh... I sense twuble....


I had my Clearbra installed by Vincent as well.
Clearbra came out great but I'm going to have to go back one of these days...

Cause I have a 335i now too!!!!!

[sterns]

With the tint from Sydney @ Automall, do you have to wait some time before you can roll the windows ?

I've always used California Tint in Campbell but I'm not sure I want to have my rear glass removed on the Cabrio.

Also, thinking about doing the clear bra, but saw some posts that it turns yellow on AW paint. Has anyone actually experienced this ?
