Tint Group Buy : Souther California (Orange County)
Fellow Car Enthusiasts,
Wanted to set up a "Group Buy" for tint, so that we could get some more buying power, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and finally decided that in the middle of the summer, it would be the BEST time to do it.
Probably looking at around 130 from a place called Alpha Tint:
Alpha Tint
11793 Beach Blvd # 8
Stanton, CA 90680
(714) 379-2880
They Use Johnson Tint, which I think is pretty good stuff. Fits around socal have come here before!
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
"best tint"
"mickey6p's place?"
"100-120$ places"
If you're interested then post it up!
I think we have four cars so far
1. Fit - tofuman
2. Chirsng's fit
3. Chrisng's si
4. Chirsng's friend
5. 8th-cambodianricer (if the price is right)
6. 8th-sm2s - interested
7.8th -sm2s' altima friend- interested
8. 8th -kraziasian - if front windows
9. 8th csuf huntito - interested in ticket insurance.
10. fit even 2k - need to confirm with them.
11. fit - 08 nick fit - if they can do 75%
12. fit - andrewwdang - if they can remove + retint the whole thing.
We will probably go in the next few weeks to go get it tinted!
we will set the end of this GB by August 1st, so that we don't have to wait forever.
bump it viewed please!

#5
but yeah i'll check with them tomorrow if they have something like that.
why so light? is the heat rejection just as good? i know absoluetley nothing about this, but i know i love a good deal.
we're gonna aim for 120 ish the more people we get the cheaper it will be!!!

Its not following the law its just that it looks clean and protects a little. Plus i do canyon runs and its hard to see out the windows at times. And another thing is that Idk my idea of going more jdm isnt dark tint. And PLUS!! I think it looks cool when some1 sees in the hatch and see that I have the rear strut bar and the c pillar. soo ehh. I just want to re tint.

#8
I run gmr but its been hot lately cus thre was a few crashes. and I have the tanabe rear strut bar. i wish I got that cusco!! Ohh and the c pillar doesnt make that much difference IMO. But I think with the other strut bars in all it makes a diffference together. Get the progress rear sway bar I think it works good!!

ive worked at a tint shop before...johnson tint is NOT that great...they turn purple after 3 years or so..yes they have lifetime warranty for fading and bubbling..but once it turns purple, u have to go through the hassle of removing it..and the rear is a pain esp. with the defrosters.
ask for solar gard tint. my .02

no problem.
solar gard is another brand of film. Window Film | Window Tinting | Solar Gard Window Film
solar gard is a brand under the Bekaert family. when i was working at the tint shop, i was told that johnson tint are dyed..so they fade quite fast, but solar gard are metal based..so it wont fade.
i know a lot of people uses johnson and they are the most wel-known..but being well known doesnt mean its the best. my parents' cars and my own 09 fit uses solar gard film. my dad's camry does not have any fading or bubbling for the past 5 years.
bt $130 is pretty good. the tint shop i worked at charges $195 for our fits.

hahaah for 215 you could almost get two actually my goal is 100 bucks each. but i think that might be a little ambitious. but yeah that's averaging the prices that i've seen so far from other people who went to alpha tint... haha we need more exposure!
