Purchased a new vehicle and the windows arent tinted, I cant drive a fish bowl around for long. Where is the best place to go?? ive taken a handful of my 19 cars to **Rainbow** and have had mixed reviews.Sometimes they came out good other times they bubble and were cut really sloppy.Not dissing rainbow at all because they always take care of the nyspeed guys but im just asking for opinions. Ive heard and seen good things with **eclipse** but also heard they use crap film that purples over the years. Their stuff always looks neat on everyones car i see and isnt bubbled. ---

IB4 “TINT” But yeah Eclipse did a good job for me but as you said, its purpling now after a handful of years. The wifey got me a certificate to Premier Car Audio on Sheridan for my other car and they did a great job I guess. ---

Kustom Workz did an awesome job on my cars in the past. I need to get my new car tinted and that’s where I’m going to get it done again. ---

I know you’re asking for other options but about a month back Rainbow did my gfs Mazda2 and the back glass of the Miata hardtop. Did a great job. I was worried because Im OCD about bubbles and crap like that but they really did a nice job. Fast too. ---

Haha yes i do work there unfortunately… been trying to get into ingram for months now and had an interview but still waiting. I picked up a clean ass 02 em2 civic coupe. Your not missing much at the gym man.

Oh no I hear you rainbow either does awesome work or they do crappy work its really hit or miss and probably depends on whos working there. ---

I had dennis tint my two front windows. He did a fantastic install, perfect cut lines… But when I got home I noticed scratches and even a bubble with a spec of dirt under it. Called the next day to have him redo it, he ever called me back. ---

Spend the money and get 3m film or llumar. Up in buffalo it doesn’t matter but here in texas the 3m film rejects heat much better than the regular stuff I had installed on my car at Rainbow a year back. Also it wont turn purple. ---

PM me or call the shop 694-7777. Dennis does our tint. He is the best without a doubt. He is not the cheapest, but the quality of tint, and quality of the install are second to none. ---
