These guys are located in Houston with two locations. They have advertisement on the Houston Craigslist and the have their new website all over their ads. They have a picture of a huge building with multiple vans as their location.... http://www.tinthouston.com/about_us.php . Can you tell they are fake? I'll try and go by tomorrow and take a picture of their REAL location (one of them), and it doesn't look like this one. I can't say whether or not some of the resi pics are jobs they have done, but come on...$75 any car? I do know that they use Wincos (Madico's Japanese line (Lintec)) and they charge accordingly...I'll give them that.

BTW, in some pics of commercial jobs, there are mountains in the background...WE DON'T HAVE MOUNTAINS IN HOUSTON!!

just have a buddy call them up and tell them you will do their car for free and they are calling to see if the will pay them to tint their car(since they will beat any price) and if they dont...he can get 1000 bucks and you can split it..if not...he can take them to court for false advertising.. :spit:lol2

do a street view on the three above... don't look like they have that nice of a place like they have on their website?

Yup, thats the original location. I thought about going and getting a price in writing, then writing my OWN reciept and taking it to them to collect, but I dont think it would be worth my time. They have been in buisiness for a LONG time though. As you can tell from the street picture of their location, it is located in a bad part of town. They have apartments all around them that go for about $300-$400 a month. I have seen nice cars at their shop, and when a friend of mine was working there, he said the chicks that were doing the tinting we !llegals.

Unfortunately every industry has to have a low end or there wouldn't be a high end. The picture on their website is terrible though, the vehicles aren't even proportionate to the building and you can tell they weren't apart of the original picture. :spit What were they thinking?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
