Default Window Tinters in Plano TX

I just got back from my first road trip to Shreveport and found that I really do need tint on my '05 Vert.

I need recomendations for a good quality window tinter in the Plano area.

Thanks,
Brian

Not sure about Plano, but I know a good place here in Shreveport

I've got your answer!!!
Go north a couple exits to the McDermott exit in Allen. Go east a mile or so, past Greenville Ave, and on your left is a custom shop called Custom Concepts. Their address is 713 E. Main and the phone number is (214) 547-8468. I got mine done there back in March, and they did a great job. The film they use has a 10-year warranty, good anywhere the film (I think it was 3M) is sold and installed. Price was about $190 with tax.

Thanks, I'll call them today.

Other places that I checked wanted to charge me the same as what they do five windows on a sedan

Hey Mike,

Do you mind if I use your name as a recommendation for Claudio at Pro Tint? I need to get my C5 tinted as well

Do you schedule an appt. that you can count on and wait while it is done? What is the cost? What tints did you have done, % wise?
PS Where is Pro Tint in Plano?

Thanks, Vette-Pilot. I can find it easily with that address on Preston. So, what is the cost? I can tell I will really want this on the back hatch, once this rains stops and we get some real summer!

Thanks Mike, My appointment was yesterday (they have about a two week wait for Saturday appointments) and I had to have my wife take it.

Finally got a chance to look at it last night. They did a great job for a great price

It's a first class operation

I can vouch for Pro-Tint as well. Got my 99 SS done there when I bought it new and also my 01 coupe. Nothing but great things to say about them.

We had the '07 Z06 done at Moritz Chevrolet in west Ft. Worth. They used the new Axcess film by Lumar and looks outstanding. It is supposed to have the good qualities of metallic film without being metallic so as to not mess with the Nav system antenna.

I've just scheduled my Silver '06 Vert with Pro Tint and was just wondering what brand and % you went with on yours?

Have you had it done yet? I just got back from a road trip to Vegas and this is the first chance that I have had to check the forum.

I had them put the lifetime warranty stuff (Item# LATR30CHSR-20) on at 30% all around. I figured the back window was small enough and not alot of advantage to having it darker. Also it makes it a little easier to see out when backing in to my garage. It worked great on this last road trip.

Thanks for the reply, actually have an appointment tomorrow (Friday). Been trying to research and compare the Llumar traditional charcoal tint to the Silver Metallic...I was thinking the metallic may be too much silver, if that's possible. I guess I'll decide when I see the product. Thanks again.
