    Campbell window film in Huntington Beach. Had both my Tacomas and our Camry done there and excellent results.

    +1 for Mike's Tint Shop in Orange. He has four different price levels depending what kind of tint you want. He just did my DC with 5% all around and it came out perfect.

    Got mine done yesterday...
    For everyone in the San Diego area, +1 for Jimmy Anz in El Cajon 619-709 -4462...exactly how Mike (05offroad) described him, chill and outstanding job on the tint. Lifetime warranty on the tint (non-transferrable) and if you have any problems, he'll take care of you.

    I wanted my front windows to match the rear tint from the factory and was in and out of there in about a half hour. It's got about another day to settle before I can roll the windows down.

    Thanks for the hook up Mike, Jimmy had nothing but good things to say about you.

    Yes only the fronts were done, just to match the rears. $50 out the door. Prolly a good idea to still say Mike (05offroad) with the blue tacoma sent you. I just sat back and :drool: til it was done. Awesome. Do it!!

    my very good friend raul trained all the workers at xtreme tint and he said place such as that place you will go and pay for the expensive tint the 3m or wwhatever it may be you will pay for it and they will still put the cheap shit on because you guys meaning myself also will never know the difference and they will profit some good cash.. just a heads up. my buddy raul will come to your house and do your tint for you.. his number is 714 722 7382

    You gotta go to Precision Tint in Thousand Oaks, CA! My buddy is the owner of the shop and he always takes care of my people. I've sent him over 20 cars and trucks.

    I'm new to the forum, but I'd like to recommend Classic Auto Tint in Orange. I've had 6 cars done by him. Lance will treat you right and do a great job. He offers a lifetime warranty on all his tint and leaves your car as clean as it came in. I've seen some tint jobs that the installers have left water spots all over the interior. He's been in business since 1983, so I think he knows a little about window tint. His prices are good and has different prices as far as normal tint or ceramic tint. I had him put ceramic all around in my truck, and boy what a difference, you could hang meat in there. When you call Lance tell him Ryan with the grey tacoma sent you.

    Window Tinting Associates in La Habra/Whittier hands down. They have been there 20 years or more and have only one installer named Johnny who has been with them for well more than 16 years, I have taken him many cars over the years and the quality cannot be beat. I usually hang out and BS with him while he is doing my car since I don't live in the area anymore I drive far to come see him and he always fits me in.

    All they do is tint, no stereos, alarms, etc and I like it that way!

    Funny thing is I just got my tacoma tinted this morning and yesterday I saw this looking for recommendations for percentages and couldnt find any, I had him do limo on the back and medium up front and the strip on the windshield, 180$ but I think it may be way too dark in the back seeing it was already tinted!!! It looks great though, I would post pics if I knew how!

    I used Xtreme Tint in Whittier several times. The final results were good. I always bought the higher quality tint and never had a problem with it. The install results were pretty good, but they got water all over the door panels (soggy cloth) on my Camry, rendering my window control button useless for a while. But once it dried out, never had problem with it again. Wet & soggy door panels on my Tacoma as well. I used 3M tint on my Tacoma, and the small 3M logo is printed repeatedly on the tint itself. I was not made aware of this until I noticed it on my windows. I'm not crazy about this feature, but it's not that annoying & I can live with it. At least I know I got the higher quality tint I paid for. Their tinting services are a little pricey. Ask for a cash payment discount.
