Anyone in Rochester use them? Looking at 3M carbon series tint and they are the closest dealer. There price was good as there is a small discount since they were running a special at some auto show.

Again looking at places who do 3M tint. Guy i talked to at The tint shop seemed like he knew what was going on. If i wanted other tint i would just use someone local like Rainbow. Can you elaborate @**[WGFletch](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=2382)**

I used them 15 years ago and they were awesome. I heard some bad things about 7 years ago and nothing since.

I gave a gift certificate to someone on here last year. Not sure if he actually used it. Don’t remember who it was.

Im assuming you mean 3M?
its a long story feel free to pm me for details but basically customer service sucks+they rape you on price for the quality you get
i would compare the quality of “install” to Ziebart and tint shop charges double
searching [roclife.org](http://roclife.org) and reading up may be your best bet, their name has been brought up plenty of times

F me Ian ☹ Will do some reading about them. There price seemed decent. Little more expensive than a few local places but nothing outrageous. Figured the small price increase was due to the quality of the film.
