Hey guys, could you use another tC for tinting? If Best Image is willing to offer a group discount, then I'd totally be interested.

I'd only be able to roll out there around noon or so. Would that work?

What's their quality like? Does the price include all 5 windows or just 3?

Works for me I suppose. If it doesn't work, I guess I can try my best at getting to Best Image at my own. I've rarely been up 101 this far before though.
Well scion101 is in redwood city, plus I know the scion champion there lol
Oh, well, if it's ok with you, we could do that. Thanks.

Here's some reviews I found:

I'm down on meeting there. Just yahoo mapped it and it should take me about 36 miles drive to there.

Btw, Best Image has four rooms for tinting, and if you can pay cash it will save you b/c there is no tax (just wanted to save you guys some additional cash for other mods).

Hey Baysurfer,

We're pretty much at the cap mark. But you should contact SoleLaced b/c he wants his car tinted also. If you guys can planned something out and get another person then the price would be $130 each person for five windows. However, you guys might be able to negotiate for a lower price. For ratings on Best Image, read the previous post from the others and from Yelp. Hope this helps.

Lets see, if we have to meet up at Scion 101 at 9:30, I'm guess we should meet up there around 9ish? I never been to scion 101 so I don't know how long it'd take.

Okay guys, I gave Best Image a called today and told that we will be coming in around 10-10:30 am.

So here is the FINAL schedule:

*9:30 am meeting at Scion 101 (where exactly should we meet since I never been up there?) i.e front entrance.

*10-10:30 am be up at Best Image.

Also, do you guys know the stock tint on the tC's? I want to tint the driver and shotgun sides but don't want it to be under 70%. What are the percentages you guys are going with?
