Where's the best place to have my 8 tinted? (San Jose area)
Well? Any tips guys? I don't want to go back to Mr.Tint coz I got ripped off last time. Don't ask me how, how much, and why

I used Sidney at Auto Mall Tint in Fremont. He's licensed for both V-Kool and Huper Optik.

Alright PUR NRG.
I spent $350 on tint for my Solara when I got it. It was 13% for rear window and rear side windows and then 32% for both front side windows. $200 for the 3 rear windows and $150 for 2 front windows. I didn't care about the price that time coz I was just pissed how hot the sun was and my A/C could not cool down the interior efficiently.
By the time I got into online forums, I later found out that I was overpaying for my tint job. Some people paid almost half of what I did and got the same quality and warranty.
I got owned by Mr.Tint

In that case you might not like Sidney. He charged roughly that much to put Huper Optik (ceramic base) on the rear and V-Kool (metallic base) on the side windows of my RX-8. I consider that fair given those are premium brand tints that will easily last 5+ years.

I highly recommend Sidney too. But yes, he does charge more for those products. Although he does carry other products as well. I had a chance to talk to Sidney and his partner and really like their business philosophy. I was so happy with their work I let them use my car on their website.

I would strongly recommend sending an inquiry to Sidney and tell him what you want and get a quote. Also, he used to give discount to the Forum members.
