there is a mobile place called "a shade above". he did my tint and he also does mobile tinting! his prices are very reasonable. go to "google", then "yellowbot" and type in "mobile window tint".

he is based out of bellevue, but will travel to you! he did our boat, our 996, our suv, and our boxster!

here is his info!

Thank you for the replies i'll definitely look into both of them - somewhat similar question that i've never gotten a straight answer to, if you tint the rear window can you still use the rear window defroster without the tint bubbling up or getting blurry? (bmw E60 if it matters)

to answer your question about the rear tint....we've had no problems. we're using 30% tint.

oh, and i can't say good enough things about "a shade above". he's prompt, quick, and professional!

good luck!

My Turbo was done by Accutint and they definitely did a good job. I admit that it'd be nice to have someone come out to you so give Steve a try. I've never had any issues with bubbles developing as a result of using the rear defrosters on mine. One thing I found interesting about Accutint is that they're now offering to put tint film on your front windshield too! That can't be legal but it sure looked cool seeing it!

I've been busy playing with my hot rod.
I did get your email and was hoping to see the new mods on your car in person. So I'll see you this Sunday?

I had mine done at accutint as well. They did a good job, but damn tinting is expensive in seattle. Actually everything is expensive here. Back in the midwest you could get just about any car tinted for $150-175. Here you are looking at $300+.
