Default Where to get windows tinted in Houston?

Any suggestions? I'm on the south east side but will drive. Don't want it to have a green/purple/brown color to it.

Xtreme Tinting and alarms in Spring has done my last few and I have been very pleased.

I have used Sun Cap (Spring) for 15 years and always been pleased. Mingo has always taken care of me. It's a drive, but I think its worth it.

Pablo Blue in Webster. Been in business as long as I can remember, since at least the early to mid 80's.

R&R Supershine in Pearland, they have a CNC film cutter so the lines come out perfect.

me and my buddy have used dan sears at least 5 times between us. last time he did my friends brand new truck we ended up tearing it off after he left and took it to Mingo @ Sun Cap. hate to say it, because Dan did a killer job on a couple of our vehicles prior to that, but last time wasnt really acceptable.

Damn really? What happen? My tint seemed good. What was the price difference if you don't mind me asking?

yeh thats what threw us off. first few he did were top notch and i love that he came out to my work and knocked it out quick.
last one he did of my friends truck he looked like he was in a super hurry, was smoking and there was residue and some dust specs under the tint. cut lines were not the best. maybe he was having a bad day, never know. but its never fun to pay to tint twice.
i'll check with my friend to see what he paid for actual tinting, i went down with him to suncap twice, and mingo did taillights and side markers as well as clear front protection so cant remember how much the tint $ was out of that.

Does Mingo tint the tails/side markers with film or a solvent and how much?

It's not.... A place here in Dallas does the same thing and the price is no different. The CNC film cutter just lets them do more cars it's a ++ for them.

also post pics of the CTS-V lol
