Window tint in the South Bay?

Hey all,

Last weekend's temperatures have strongly encouraged me to tint my windows.

Any of you guys know of a good window tint place in the South Bay, preferably in Mountain View or around San Jose? What's the usual price for 4 windows and the rear window? And what's the usual amount people here are tinting to, without gaining attention from cops?

curious for the answer too as I've been debating tint.

I used to have 30% all around on my wrx. Never had any issues for 5 years until a couple months before I sold it. Got pulled over 5 minutes from home in Fremont and the rookie cop (with his training officer) gave me a ticket for my front windows being tinted. Aside from that, had one motorcycle cop approach me while parked in my driveway installing a roof rack telling me my front tint needs to go (verbal warning I guess you'd say).

TLDR: YMMV but I didn't have any issues with cops with 30% on the front side windows. The wrx didn't exactly blend in either (subaru blue color with dark tint and aftermarket wheels).

Cant recommend Cesar enough. He does an amazing job and has really great pricing. The window film he uses is top notch. Poor guy works 7 days a week too.

 

I actually requested a quote from him. Looks like there's three films to choose from: SUNTEK Carbon, CXP, and CIR. Which one did you go with?

 

I've gone with the middle one for 3 vehicles so far. It's great. It blocks 99% of UVA/B rays which was a must when I was trying to find film approved by the skin cancer association.

 

Thanks for the insights. The CXP is a little steeper in price than the quotes I've got around the area. But I might just go with Cesar, per your suggestion.

 

If you pay cash he might knock down the price for you a bit as well.

 

California Auto Tint and Polish in Campbell is where I take all of my vehicles.

I run 20% all the way around.

Mr. tint in San Jose. Brought 3 of my cars there and they always do a fantastic job. And they also include lifetime warranties for the tint. If they bubble or scratch you'll be covered!

 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up going with Icon Window Tint in Mountain View for the sake of its location being near the office. They operate out of a gas station and do pretty good work.

 

I have used Quality Auto Glass and Tinting in Santa Clara for years. They've done 5 cars and good work. I'm hitting them up in a week or two....this heat blows.

 

The heat indeed does blow.

 

I had my fronts done when I first got the truck and trying to be good....so now gotta sneak it in and hopefully it'll remain hot enough the windows won't need to be rolled down.

When I did my fronts at 50% we went on a road trip the next day and I was cringing when I saw the passenger window go down.

 

cosign, I've had my last 4 cars tinted w canlas and detailed by supreme

 

i have 0 percent tint in a can for you tk.

 

Is that what you have in your rears? Because your windows are FUCKING dark.

 

Out of curiosity, what's an average price for this?

 

~200 I think, I can't remember.
