Default Tint shop in Miami Area

Hey all, can anyone recommend a tint shop in the Miami area? I did a search and I saw Josh recommends a place up in Pompano and somebody else recommended one way down south, hoping to find one closer to the Miami area.

I'm not doing my S (already tinted), I'm looking to get my g/f's RSX done tomorrow for her since she is out of town, nice little suprise to come home to. I've always used a shop on Biscayne and like 96th street who was relatively cheap and did good work, but I think the guy went out of business as he hasn't been there in awhile.

If anyone can post a place by tomm it would be appreciated!

Thanks! If I can't find a closer one I'll give them a call. I'm not overly obscessive, I don't need the absolute best shop, just a place that does a decent job with a decent film for a decent price. I found the guy I used to use, but his prices have gone up to an insane amount, that on top of the fact I think he went nuts himself (literally) kinda makes me want to find a new place, lol. If I had the time and patience I'd do it myself, but last time it took me forever to get it decent.

Check out Senor Stereo...JR did me right with some sound equipment, and the "family ownwed" atmosphere is one I condone. I just was'nt happy with their alarm install. Then again, I'm not easy..and had a private installer undo and redo the alarm. Nonetheless, those are two options.

Thanks Erick, which Senor Stereo did you go to? I know there is one in Hialeah Gardens that is fairly close to where I will be tomorrow anyway. I know that is not the primary location though.

I took advice from Rachel and used the shop across from SHorty's near Dadeland called Auto Perfection! Not only was the job nice, when I told him I was in the S2kI club..he dropped the price from $95 to $70 flat!!! You can't beat that for Titanium tints with a lifetime warranty!!! Check it out if you can make it South!! Speak to Marco or Lori!

That is not THAT far, about 25 minutes. I might take it there. I just tell him I'm in the s2ki club? Heh will look kinda funny showing up with an RSX (like I said, I'm getting my g/f's car done, not mine). I don't care though, $95 is fine as long as they do a good job.

Thanks for all the replies thus far everyone!
