View Full Version : Window Tinting

Last year I did some window tinting deals for EvoAtlanta.com, WRXAtlanta.com and S2kAtlanta.com. I'm going to extend the same deals this year to anyone that is interested. If possible and everyone would like to do it, we could even do a "Tinting" day where we can meet somewhere (an area that is covered and has electricity!) and I can push out 3-4 cars that day. Or, if there is more interest, we can extend it into a weekend and I can put you 6-8 cars that weekend!

Here is the skinny on me. I have over 11 years of window tinting experience. I've managed a few shops and even started my own company last year. I decided that window tinting was as profitable as I had hopped and so I continued my career as a computer scientist. However, I still have film and I still tint cars on the side.

I do top notch work and have done plenty of cars in these clubs, so ask around and I'm sure someone will let you know of my work. I do all rear windows in one piece (no seams), all roll-ups are tinted to the very top edge and shaved so there will be no gaps. Also, all of the film comes with a lifetime warranty.

I have plenty of film left over from last years venture. It's all Llumar window film. I have a dye, metal mix, Full metal and even a ceramic film. Each adjusts the pricing a little bit. However, I'm going to offer extremely low prices to you guys in order to clear out this film inventory and pay off my venture debt that is still sitting on a credit card. :)

For Evo's only, I'm offering the following:

Dye/Metal mix: $150
A Dye/Metal mix is a good value film. The dye gives you a matte look, while the metal gives you performance. The dye is a non color changing dye, so it won't turn purple on you. It offers 45% heat rejection and 99% UV protection.

Full Metal: $175
A full metal film offers higher heat rejection at 52%. However, since there is no dye in the film, it does produce a sort of metallic / reflective look. Also, full metal films have been known to interfere with some car electronics and cellular phones. I'd recommend this film to anyone that wants the full benefits of heat rejection but doesn't mind the neutral reflective look.

Ceramic: $175
Ceramic film is the newest technology on the window film market. It offers all of the benefits of metal films, but since there is no metal involved, it is guaranteed to not interfere with the cars electronics. Typically, cars are being tinted for upwards of $500 a pop with ceramic film. The national average is $350 a car. I'm going to be cheaper naturally because of this offer and because it's left over inventory.

Here are some photo's of some cars I have done:

Do you have any 15 or 20 percent tint and do you have any pictures of the rear window of an evo where the glass ends and paint begins?

I am seriously interested in getting the windshield tint strip. How much would that cost?

No, I don't have 20%. If you want it, I can order it, but the price isn't going to be as inexpensive as what was quoted since I'd have to order it. However, I'd highly recommend not going illegal. Everyone is getting busted and getting tickets these days since the police have slip meters now. It's just not worth it.

Here is an evo rear window:

$30 by itself. They're obnoxious to do. :)

You can count me in. I can see why they are obnoxious though. I'm just glad I'm paying somebody else to do it.

It's not really hard, per-se... just obnoxious. I can get them done in about 15 minutes, I just hate doing them. :)

If we can get a few more cars together, we'll slap one in for you on the same day.

Sounds good. Hopefully it will be within the next week because I have to go out of town for two weeks starting next week Friday.

It all depends on who speaks up!

If nobody else speaks up is it possible to get the hook up this weekend? I don't mind meeting you anywhere you see fit.

Dean is the man when it comes to window tinting. He did it on my car last year, and it looks awesome. No bubbles , nothing, great quality.

Dean,

Are you still interested in doing this? I wouldn't mind getting that windshield strip this weekend if you are up to it.

Dean,

Honestly, it's not really worth it for me to just come out to do a windshield strip. If you were there while others were getting their windows tinted, I'd slap one in for you, but with the way gas prices are and such, it wouldn't be worth it for me to travel just for $30.

If you really want one, go to any window tinting shop near you and they'll charge anywhere from $20 - $30 for one. They'll probably do it right when you come in too since it's so quick.

I didn't mind driving to your place for this, but how well. Thanks anyway.
