Good local tint place?

Where is a good place to get my car tinted around here? Maybe somewhere in the Oviedo area? I'm still thinking about doing it myself, but I don't know if I want to go through the effort. Depends on how much it costs to have a professional do it.

Anyone?

Precision Window Tinting on 17-92 does a good job. They are in front of Ruben's tires next to one of those Motorcycle places.

They also do a one piece hatch. Check Them out. And if you want the "illegal" tint as you should, bring along your best friend "Kash" He makes a lot of **** go smoothly with out traces

Did you really mean I can't drive? I thought I did pretty decent Spun a little out of the hole and shifted at 5,500, where it's making peak power. Oh yeah, I put it on Norris's dyno, it made 118rwhp and 127rwtq It's definetly a good little car! Now up first will be a home-made cold air kit, then I'm going to start work on fabricating a turbo in the next couple months Seriously!

They quoted me $140 for my car, is that kinda high? I thought it'd be closer to $100, but if they do a really good job it's probably worth it.

I just tried to do the two front windows.......It didn't come out that bad but it seems like I can't get all the little bubbles out no matter what I do! I've been sitting here for literally over an hour trying to get them all out. I'm probably going to end up ripping it off an saving up to have a professional place do it. I'll let some ghetto things slide, but tint isn't one of the things you can get away with, a little too visible

A friend of mine, Gary, works up at Norris has a couple of T-28's laying around collecting dust, so whenever I get some money I'm going to buy one off him, get a stock header from the junkyard and start fabricating It'll be a while before it gets done, but it will happen

No... my car was tinted when I got it, and not a very good job at that. I tinted my truck that I had before my Camaro, 5% all the way around, it came out very good.

Dynoed it at Norris Motorsports(where else? ) at the dyno day for Lethally Injected F-body club(which I am now an honorary member of ). It was pretty sweet. The Honda put down an amazingly flat torque curve. From 3000 rpms to almost 6000 it had 120+ ft lbs, never going any lower. That's probably why it has decent pick-up. And now with my new MONSTER K&N in there it actually pulls harder now

Eddie - I'd like to see your tint job, maybe I'll have you redo mine one of these days if you do a really good job. Oh, and you could help me do the rear window, I haven't done it yet(looks kinda funny with 5% on the sides and no tint on the back).
