but that's pretty typical of guys who mainly do illegal installs. they don't have to back any of their work because the customer has no legal recourse because it's an illegal install. just another way they take advantage of customers.
yep...i tried to lecture him about getting Pinnacle and getting 15%, but he said he wanted the cheapest 5% tint he could get...I think he paid about 130 installed for it.

if you want to see how purple it really is, just take it and have one window redone.
I have not tinted the car it was bought with "tint" from wherever it was done. There is no reason to retint it since it is not actually purple, and it does not have one bubble in the tint. Your located in Texas, do you have a shop?

of course i have a shop. built it in 1996, and been here ever since. that is until the end of this month. at which time i'm moving to oregon. 12 years is about all i can handle of texas prices and all the people wanting illegal tint.

texas is a long hard process to get illegal film. you have to register with the state, obtain a certificate, and you have to renew it every year.
oregon is different. they want illegal tint, all the have to do is go get a prescription from the dr, and i'm released from all liability.

plus, tint jobs are quite a bit higher.

you know all those people you see with tint that's barney purple? go up and ask the owner if their tint is purple. 9 times out of 10 they will say "no".
so it's ok, it's your car, as long you think it's not purple, you'll be fine.

Thanks to those in this thread, especially 'shaglass'...I was deciding between Formula One Comfort Series and Llumar ATR CH. There is about a $60 price difference between the two (F1 being higher) so I feel confident that the Llumar ATR CH will suit me just fine.
