^When you go to any of the Mothers locations, just tell them you went to such and such location(Mothers) and they said they will do it for such and such price. If they can match or beat the price, you will go there since it is closer to you.
Works for me every time!
Since it is your front windshield, just tell them the other location said they will.

Might try tomorrow. Really dont feel like driving around. I'd rather call, but I have a feeling I'm more likely to get a "NO!" over the phone.

Is there anyone that would come to my apt and pull my old tint off and put new on being that the car is under construction and not able to take to a shop. I want to get it done before the car goes to paint.

DIY tint is easy- at least the side windows. For like $20(high side- assuming you make a mistake and waste tint) and maybe an hour of your time, you and a buddy could do it. The tint rolls they sell at AutoZone have gotten better on quality from what I've heard.
Although, I wouldnt touch the rear window.

My friend and I did the side windows on his truck. We messed up the first side because the film got crinkled when it folded on itself. He had to buy another roll because of that (each roll gives enough to do 2 side windows/1 back window), but we got them done and it looks great.

I would try that but the back window is the one I need done because I changed the hatch. I think you saw it. I just dont want to even try it. I'd rather just find someone that would come out and do it. I appreciate it though.

I only remember driving 1 car that had limo tint on it. it was my dad's old 1990 454 SS truck. at night I had to open the back window to be able to see outside lol.

I need new tint in the hatch so i will look into going limo on it.


btw - you work in IT right? are there any job openings?

So I went to Mother's on Marbach. They evidently dont carry/use the Crystalline. None of their locations do (according to the guy I spoke to at the front desk).

Crap.


Anyone know of any other places that stock or can get some Crystalline?
