I called rainbow last time I was in town and the rates were definitely higher than I remembered. I am sure they still do great work. I decided to go a different direction and ordered some 3M Crystalline. Figured put the best stuff on the car. Should be installed on Friday, then I will snap some pictures. ---

I know everyone is all leg humping Rainbow, but I had a bad experience with them. I was gonna keep it to myself, but since the tread was bumped I thought I would weigh in on the Bad side of their work too. I had my S10 done there, for pretty cheap, a year ago, and I got what I paid for. It was $80 for an extended cab truck, and around the mounts that allow the smaller side windows to open the holes were cut really poorly, the side door windows had a really shitty cut line at the top of the windows (both driver and passenger), and there were a bunch of razor cuts on my trim both inside and outside. Keep in mind this is just my work truck that wasn’t new to begin with, but still they did a shitty job. At this point I wouldn’t feel good about taking a “nice” car there. X… ---

You paid $$ it wasn’t free. I have no complaints though, I was referred by a few friends who got tints done there also. I took my dads CLS500 there in June 2010, guy did a great job. IIRC it was $160 for all windows. ---

I will have to make time to get it redone. It sucks but i will have to spend a Saturday morning one of these days getting it done. I was a fathers day gift from the wife so I wasnt there to look it over when it was done or I would have caught it. Front two windows are good though. ---

Ditto, I have cut marks, bubbles and other imperfections when they did mine which they said they would go away as well as a 1/2" inch gap or worse around the edge of all my windows and I even took all the interior trim/panels out for them so that wouldnt happen. Not worth it bringing it back to them. I would rather take it somewhere where they will do it right and perfect the first time than waste more of my time taking back. ---
