Window Tint

DeAdGnRaTiOn · 03-04-2005

Anyone recommend a place? Preferably a place north of the cities.

**scheides** · 03-04-2005

brooklyn blvd & noble ave., roughly, there is a place...they have done some decent work. I forget the name, though...

DeAdGnRaTiOn · 03-04-2005

Let me know if you figure it out. Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can find them!

I'm debating on doing it myself my my '99 GSX. The back window will be a bitch. Check out www.tintdude.com Great site with how-tos. I'm merely wanting to do it myself because if i'm successful i can startup a weekend job doing other cars. You need good tint though. Llumar is one of the best of most commonly used at slick-up shops.

I tried it myself, didnt work very well at all on the curved rear windows. I would just take it somewhere. Ziebarts does good work.

You must use a heat gun and no not a hair dryer. There are 2 methods, wet shrinking and dry shrinking. You have to shrink the little fingers that appear from going around curved glass. The entire how-to is on that site.

Ziebart in Fridley or Maplewood.Ask for the manager, tell them Metzger sent you and they'll give you a good deal or just let me know and I'll set it up.If you want to do it yourself, I can get professional films too.

in brooklyn park, there are two shops that would do it..area 51, which is under construction, and street scenes tint. Yes, they do rims, lowering jobs, stereo installs, but their main cup of tea is tint. speak to fang, and tell him i sent ya. addy is 7701 brooklyn blvd. phone: 763-566-0888..good luck!

Want to get my windows tinted. Anybody know of a decent place around Woodbury/Cottage Grove area that doe good work? I took my 2G to this guy called the (Tint Man) up in Roseville and he did a pretty good job. I will go back to him if there isn't anything closer.

Also does Ziebarts and Abra do it darker upon request? I know 50% is legal but thats hardly worth it since its not even that dark. I want to do 35% all the way around.

I haven't heard of anyone getting denied farker than legal tint. ?If they give you any shit say its a show car for off road use only or something.

I know that street scenes will go darker than 50% because someone on MNSC was flossing their pics of 30% tint on a civic.

The place is called Street Scene there price is pretty decent and there tint work is nice because they have a machine that cuts out the tint for them. I got front tints 35% done on my SUV for 40 bucks and other places wanted 150 to just do my front. Plus they do a one piece rear window. If you are thinking about doing it yourself I wish you the best of luck. I tinted before and it sucked because the film you buy at the store sucks. Not only that but it turns purple after a year or so. Save yourself the headache. Make sure to check with the place you do the tint that they can do it as dark as you want. I know a couple of shops that will only tint 50% because of MN rules.

They will go 5% and double 5%( which is 5% over 5%).

Street Scene has a shop on WhiteBear in Maplewood next to the Rainbow shopping center on White Bear Ave.

I know what place you are talking about but I don't know the name either. I used to live in Fridley so I drove by there all the time.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-10-2006

I used to have an extended cab s-10 and I had the windows tinted at ziebart in fridley. they did a pretty good job. 5% on all the back windows and 30% on the door windows. all they had me do is sign a waiver saying that I knew the timt on my windows was illegal and that they couldn't be held liable

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-10-2006

sorry...double post...

**Halon** · 01-10-2006

I got pulled over last Wednesday in Red Wing for my 20%. Second time in about 7 months I've been pulled over for it, but no tickets yet. I think my AZ drivers license helps me out because they think I got it tinted there and moved here!

93sc · 01-10-2006

I used to get pulled over quite a bit for teh 1% on teh vic. Guy that did it is the the local crown vic club and he did a pretty nice job. He also travels I believe. Ifa anyones interested I can get you his info.

I was also planning on tinting my windows this Spring/Summer. I hate how leather seats heat up so quick and cool down so slow. How much does it usually cost for a full tint job (door windows, back windows, and rear window)? Forty bucks for the front sounds like a good deal to me, compared to $150.
