Default Window Tint shops

Hey guys/gals,

I am looking for a good Tint shop in the Portland area. I am going to get my 135 done as soon as I pick it up.

Also, who here knows their tint? I am looking to get Ceramic Tint since I hear it is better for heat reduction and also will not react with any of the electronics in the car.

I got a quote from one place and it was $325 for Carbon tint and they said it would be $700 for Ceramic I have seen people get Ceramic for $200 so is this shop pulling a fast one?

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Check out 503 Motoring: Here

They do tinting and clear bras for most of the exotic and spendy car dealers in Portland. They do excellent work.

Good luck!

Larry

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got off the phone with Ben there at 503. He was really helpful. I mentioned your name Larry and he said he knew you. He also said that Dave Lyons is coming in there tomorrow to get some work done.

They are actually going to pick the car up for me at the dealership on the 16th, tint the windows, and then return it to the dealership in time for me to pick it up on the 19th.

Great price too

Thanks again Larry and Huy

Brandon

Which day? I am out of town until mid to late afternoon on Sunday. I would really like to see this machine. Are you staying in town until late Sunday?

Wouldn't that be the weekend of the Crater Lake drive? I would love to see your new car.

I think that the Crater Lake drive is on July 26th.

I am picking the Beemer up on the 19th so it should be all good.

Doug- I will be coming into town on the 18th, picking the car up on the 19th, and then driving home on the 20th. I might stay another night and drive home on Monday though. I want to get in as much driving as possible as fast as possible so that the 1200 break in period goes fast. I want to see what this thing can do

Saturday night or early afternoon Sunday would be the best time to meet up for me
