SoCal window tint recommendations?
Hey everyone,
Does anybody have any good recommendations for window tinting in Los Angeles or OC area? Looking to get something above the basic tinted film that I've gotten on my past few cars. Some sort of ceramic/ir/heat reducing tint would be nice. |

Hello. I recommend two shops:
1) Song's Tint Master (STM Inc) 2464 W Washington Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90018 Tel: (323) 732-3760 They carry Huper Optik. Ceramic films. Awesome heat rejection (60 something % rejection). They have demo kit that shows how much heat is rejected compared to other brands. $500 for 5 windows. Awesome stuff. 2) Find It All 505 S Vermont Ave Los Angeles, CA 90020 Tel: (213) 487-7788 They carry Suntek. Their top of the line film is CXP which is carbon film I think. 40-50 % heat rejection, if i remembered correctly. Around $300 for 5 windows. I got tints from both places. Got Huper Optik for my mom's car and I got Suntek CXP on mine (lightest color, 80% visibility. Still has 40 something % heat rejection). Has hint of very light blue - but I saw that darker tints gets brown tone). Looks awesome on my mineral white. They are both awesome. They both have great reviews and known to redo the tints if u see bubbles or other problems. Discuss with them beforehand tho. Happy shopping! |

Go to Extreme Autowerks in Cerritos. They carry Formula One Pinnacle which is the best ceramic tint in its price range. Huper is great but the thickness makes install on the dot matrix tough.

Had both of my cars done at this place. Awesome people and they offer 3M tint. Ask for Marian and tell him that Tim sent you. |

BUMP!!
Figured I'd bump this thread instead of making a new one even though it's over 3 years old. So looking to get the front windows on my F30 tinted mostly for heat rejection. Being that it's Saphire Metalic Black I'm going to need it come summer. Any updated recommendations on tint shops in the LA area especially in the valley or north (I live in Santa Clarita).

The good thing about Sunshield is that they're willing to make it right once you do business with them. I just don't have the time right now to take my car back to the shop. I would still recommend them. |

A-1 Tint in Norco, California. I have had my car's windows tinted there for over 20 years (8 cars). My wife is allergic to sun and they do a great job. In fact, they have a ceramic material for the front windshield that will block out at least 80% of the UV rays without making the windshield look tinted. Their LIFETIME warranty is super; I had the rear window on my 2004 Corvette re-done after 9 years, no problem. Good luck
