I've used Sound Check, Tint Devil, and mobile-tinting.com

Been satisfied with every one. Prices tend to be more expensive here in SD than in LA.

cool, thanks. I don't mind paying a little more as long as it's done right. Do you have a preference of the ones you've listed?

Quality was pretty much the same through each one. I'd have to say I liked mobile-tinting.com the best just because they were convenient and they came out to my work to tint the car in the parking lot. They arrived in the morning and were finished by the time I went to lunch.

Here are pics of my wagon. I sort of wish I didn't go so dark but I think i'll live :)

Sick sick touring.

Hey if you're getting your tint replaced, you save a lot by removing the old stuff yourself. Sure it's a PITA, but they charge more for that than installation of new tint.

I know the installer that does the tint job for Modern Image and Symbolic cars. PM for the information......he isn't that expensive and does damn good work as he works on all high end cars...if Symbolic trust them with their Ferrari's....I think this guy is a good catch.:buttrock

Hey 97CosmosM3, have you gotten your windows tinted yet? I also have a cosmos M3 and need to get the windows tinted. Let me know where you decide on and how dark you go. Pictures would be excellent. Thanks
