I know there was one done last year, but i never got in and I know we've had new members/new cars since then and was wondering if anyone wants to give it another shot. My buddy owns the Streets Scenes in Spring Lake Park across from NorthTown and he asked if I'd be interested in getting the group together for tinting. The dates are flexible and don't have to be done on the same date, he could spread it out over a few days to coordinate with peoples' schedules, and in special cases won't mind doing it on another day. Pricing: For 5 windows (the four side windows and the rear) 5-9 cars = $170 - Regular Sedan / $205 - Wagon 10-14 cars = $160 - Regular Sedan / $195 - Wagon 15+ Cars = $150 - Regular Sedan / $185 - Wagon $10 off for 2 door suby Coupes. He wants Subaru only, if you have another make ask me first and I'll try to talk him into it. He's pretty strict on this because certain other models (such as 4th Gen camaros/firebirds) take a lot of time and material and won't apply to the discounting. SO LET ME KNOW WHAT MODEL YOU ARE TINTING IF ITS NOT A SUBY. Regular pricing is $225 for sedans and $260 for wagons, so this is a pretty hefty discount. The tint has lifetime warranty and tints from 5% - 50%, the brand is Global Window Films. Other details I'm not so sure of, any questions let me know and I'll find out asap. Lifetime warranty covers bubbling, cracking, peeling, and fading. You get new product plus labor, no extra fees. IT DOES NOT COVER SCRATCHING See Their website at www.streetscenestint.net, they have 4 pages of cars they've done, there's an STi on page 3. **TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR MAY 18-20, Thursday, Friday, Saturday** More time available if needed. 2 WEEKS LENIENCY GIVEN FOR DISCOUNT IF NEEDED There is a 2 hour Estimated Time to tint. As always, it could definately be shorter/ longer than this due to different makes/models. A tint job "could" be done in 45 minutes, but I'm going to schedule 2 hour time blocks to allow enough time. 1. Bryan (wrxpeed) going on thursday at noon, unless someone wants it. 2. Discopope - Friday, May 19th 4:00 - 6pm 3. Mndude - Saturday, May 20th 10:00am - 12PM 4. Angusracer (interested) 5. Silver03 - Saturday, May 20th at 4pm 6. Hofit - Saturday, May 20th 12:00 - 2PM (pm) 7. ScubaSteve - Friday, May 19th right after KimmiGT 1pm - 3PM 8. kimmigt - Friday, May 19th after 11AM-1PM 9. AWD101 - Saturday, May 20th 2PM - 4PM 10.lilred - Completed 11.BadbennyB - Completed 12.Jon Lo - off for now 13. 14. 15.
i might be interested. how long does tinting a car take? and what's legal for percentages. if its too soon though, i can't because i really don't have much money right now.
I believe you can have any shade of tint on all the windows except the front drivers and passengers...they have to be 50% or lighter, legaly anyways. But if you get the back really dark the front won't look so light. I'm interested. What brand of tint? Do you have any pics of his work?
I'm in tentatively. If its after mid-May, I'll have money and am interested. Any earlier and it'll be a stretch. Bryan, can you get a little more info on what types of film he has? Is the price a flat rate? Also, how long has he been tiniting for? Thanks! Dont quote me on this, but I think Mn tint law is 50% all around with no tint on the windshield. There are exceptions tho: medical exemption, out of state plates (I think the other state's laws apply), and factory tinting (3rd visor on windshield). Someone please correct me if Im wrong.
I'll definately get all these questions answered. I'll see him at work today and get all the info. He would be the one doing the tinting, not us. You pay for the tint and the service to cut and install it. The legality is 50% in MN on front windows, that's the one for sure thing that I do know. As for experience, I'll get a few pics from him to throw up here. At his shop they have a full wall of pictures of cars they've done; ranging from your everyday grocery getters; to M3's, supra's, think i even saw a Porsche on there. BTW, he used to have a WRX and i'm sure he has plenty pics of that with tint. Thanks, guys I'll get the rest of the info in a little bit here and throw it on up.
"Life time warranty" Is it just the flim, or is it labor/film I might be interested if I could make it out
Includes everything; tint, lifetime warranty, and labor to install. Wagons are going to be a little bit more because of the extra windows which is pretty self-explanitory. See first post for details on pricing. Thanks
So the discount is only for global film? If not, how much for llumar? Also, doesnt apply to me, but any price difference for 2doors? Thanks and sorry for all the questions
yes 50% on all windows except front, you cant have any tint there. SUV'S you can have the windows as dark as you want except for the passenger and drivers windows, it has to be 50% or less. I have 5% on all my windows and a 5% strip on the windshield. I just roll the windows down when I see a cop
dang. we just has a group buy on tint for MNAudi. good turn up. prices are WAY diff from here tho. =P good luck tho. my friend owns Street Scenes.m good people. good customer service.
I would love to do this!! but chances are pretty good I'm just a handraiser.....that's alot of money that I probably won't have.
Wagons can have as dark a tint as they want on the rear windows. I might bring my matrix down to get tinted, I need to check on the date though.
TINT LAWS: Minnesota: Visor............none Front doors.............50% Rear doors................50% Back window...............50% Wisconsin: Visor...........as1 Front doors............50% Rear doors............35% Back window.......35% http://www.tintdude.com/laws.html
I have 30% all round on mine as far as I know... and never been hassled... so far.. now that I posted this I will see what happens..ha ha ha
again date is pretty open. i want it to be able to work with peoples' schedules. We'll probably donate a 3/4 day weekend for the time, such as a thurs, fri, sat, sun. I'm thinking mid may, but again i'm pretty flexible. As for the llumar, i'll check with him. I know they carry it, but from what i've heard from others, is that most Lifetime warranted tints are going to be very similar, and since it's lifetime warranty, get it replaced if it goes bad. And the llumar is going to be more expensive that the only thing i know for sure.
Mid May, well most of May looks good for me except the weekend of the 20th. So if its not that weekend, count me in.
(Idget)Dont quote me on this, but I think Mn tint law is 50% all around with no tint on the windshield. Correct...You can tint your rear windshield as dark as you want...no way of measuring it. Just remember if you have a BLACK car, your tint will seem darker, even though you both got 50%. The lighter the car the less obvious it is...Also considering, if you have a dark interior too, your tint will look darker. I have 35% rear windows and 50% front. See if you can see the difference.
Did this thread disappear on anybody else? I only can get it to it through an email reply post update thing.
the 20th and 21st don't work for me. the 19th is a maybe. not sure yet. What are their hours? I might be able to just swing by after work on that friday since its kinda close by.
ok, sounds good. Its directly south of the NOrth town best buy on the frontage road. its between the best buy and the timberlodge on the frontage road.
See first post for date, scheduled for may 18-20 which is Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Not open Sundays. Map is posted on their homepage that i linked. I'll also post it here for reference. Weird, the star doesn't show up when i link it, its where the East Service drive meets Manor dr. Just go to the hopepage and click on locations to find the location or here: http://maps.yahoo.com//maps_result?...432&country=US&BFKey=&cat=trav&resize=s&trf=0
forgot to ask...does anyone have pics of a tint job on a wrx with black interior? I'd like to know what 50% will look like.....50% on my legacy with grey interior wasn't even noticable....If it doesn't look too dark I'd rather go to 50% front windows, 35% rear.
^^^^ I have 50% on my 06wrx, the interior is mostly black (with some gray on it) If you want, stop by the mobil station on valley view (i noticed you're from EP) u can check it out if you want
