I just bought a BSP TC a few weeks ago. Now I think it would look much better with a tint job. I know the dealership does tinting, but I hear they do it for $300. Does anyone know a good tinting place? I live in the Seattle area.

 

welcome to the boards, congrats on the new car....
there is a few places up in north seattle... names escape me at the moment... if you want to go back a few pages here in this PNW section you maybe able to find them.... think average non-dealer price is running between 150-200'ish for a full tint job

 

Seattle Trim Design does tint.They are on 36th Ave just off of 99 in north Lynnwood I had them do my wifes xB and mine.Drivers and Pass only cause the xB comes tinted from the factory.It was 100 buck per car and looks great.

 

I just check VTR. They told me 269 for the car and 25 for the visor. Im not sure if a BSP would look good with a visor. My brother tells me its cheezy.

 

Congrats on the new tC...I just traded in a BSP xB for one.

I can't speak to tCs with visor tint but I had put it on my BSP box and my RS3 box. It didn't look cheesy and I wouldn't go back.

 

I was going to tell ya to check out VTR, but it looks like you already have

 

Maybe someone with photoshop skills can show me... =D

 

I would go with AutoTrim Design in Lynnwood.

Ya this is what I ment when I said Seattle trim design.My bad

 

There is one on Lake City Way just a few blocks up from the dealership on the right hand side heading north. They did my Volvo and did it a little darker than the leagal limit if you pay cash. I think they charged me like 199.00 for the Volvo wagon. I heard one of the guys at work got his Tc done for 179.00. It is called darkside tinting. We have had a couple of cars done there, when Autotrim Design is to busy and have always had good luck.

As far as the windshield, well that is a little to samll and might get you in trouble, but the BSP looks amazing with the tint on it.

jay's tint shop in totem lake

 

Agreed. He just did my sister's RS 2.0 tC. All windows except for front, no visor, 20% for $200.00. Looks incredible, stand up guy too. I'm next...

 

hey speaking about tinting, does anyone know a good place to go to in the tacoma area. good meaning there not ____ty and they price good.

 

20%? isnt the legal limit 35%?

 

I would use any shop that uses 3M or Llumar films, so you get nationwide lifetime warranty.

35% is the legal limit, and it's dark enough for my s4 & xB

 

Frys nice lol... do you work there?

 

Jay is charging me 225+35 for the visor...

I check out AutoTrim they said 249+30 for visor...

 

I don't. I am a student & equity trader.

I have 35% llumar charcoal tint on both of my cars.

 

20% matches with the stock tint for xB's. legal limit is 35% but ive had 20% on my accord for the past 4 yrs no problem. plus, i never heard of people in WA getting a ticket for tint. only in other states

 

I had Jay do mine.. stand up guy did a great job... I did 20%. I'll post pics as soon as i get them... Car went from Jays to Roland Toyota... Scion Security finally gets installed.
