+3 for Vince over at Omega. He handled my BRZ, and my Evo before that—flawless job both times.

Vince at omega did some vinyl work for me but for tint he's really expensive. Try Discovery tint in concord. He does great work & it's pretty cheap. He's done about 6 cars for me and I had one of them for 10 years and the tint held up perfect.

I know a freelance guy. If interested, I can put you in contact. He does everything from full vinyl entire car color changes to basic window tints. Certainly an affordable fellow.

Watch who you do it with! I've had terrible experiences in the bay with my IS350 ..Almost all professional shops remove your door panels. Some of them couldn't put it back correctly, or couldn't screw things in correctly causing rattles etc. Make sure you pick a good place! Sometime if the freelancer is good, its better to go to a freelancer! :P

AutoProFilms has got my vote. Got my car clear-bra'd and tinted there when I first got it and it was a great job. I got a ride to and from work and they even hooked it up with some mimosa's when I was there on Sunday getting some work done.

Got it. And hmm, usually audio places do good jobs on tinting.. But sucks to hear they did a crappy job, but someone's always gotta take one for the team so others know.
