Tint shop in the NW burbs

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good tint shop. I live near O'Hare so something within 20 min of there would be best. Id rather pay a little more and know it wont bubble up and peel off then get a cheap crappy job.

Re: Tint shop in the NW burbs

any shop that uses 3M tint and has a lifetime warranty i'm sure would be fine.

Re: Tint shop in the NW burbs

Re: Tint shop in the NW burbs

Talk to Charles at the Ziebart on Mannheim between Belmont and Grand (I think its between Belmont and Grand...if not, its like one block north of Belmont).

Lifetime warranty, great quality. I'm very happy with their work on my Z. Went 20% sides and 5% rear.

Tell him you were referred by someone off the MFBA. Should be like $170ish.

Re: Tint shop in the NW burbs

Do a search on eBay for Elite Tint. It's cut perfectly and with his kit & taking your time, you can do it just as good as any shop and save a boatload of dough.
