Default Where to get tint/clear bra done?

What is the best place to get tint done? My sister wants to get her G35C tinted, and I would like to get my Z done as well. Any recommendations on where to get it done? I am in Southern California.

Also, where can I get a clear bra installed? My front bumper's already toast, but my sister's G is still clean (so far...). After pointing out all the rock chips on my bumper caused by normal driving, I think she wants to invest in a clear bra. Again, any recommendations? (Also, her car is Ivory Pearl, if that matters).

TIA

So what clear bra installer is recommended? I mean, since my sister's G is Ivory Pearl (essentially PPW), the installation needs to be exact. Do most installers wrap the entire bumper, or do they leave a gap?

As for tint, I would definately be down for a "group buy" price! What you guy's opinion on ceramic tint such as Huper Optik? Or should I just go with regular "smoke"/charcoal?

Check your Yellow Pages for auto window tint places. ALso, if you check out Clear Bra's site, I think they list their authorized installers.

Most of the window tint places I went to did the clear bra as well.

The only reason I don't want to just check the yellow pages is because I want to go to someone who has a good reputation for doing quality work. But I guess if all else fails, I can do that too Thanks for the info.

I'd be in along with another friend(sti) if we could get a GB on ceramic tint somewhere.

I second the suggestion of finding from Yellowpages. There are bunch of them out there and people who do Clear Bra usually also do tints. Call a couple place and negotiate for a better deal. Oh yeah, pay cash if you can, they love cash so it will save you some bucks.

Also, is a computer-cut clear bra better, or one that is cut by hand? Because as I stated before, it seems like those that are computer-cut don't necessarily go to the edges.

Cool

I had my tinting done by Professional Glass Tinting. Don't know if they have a place in Cal. They did a great job!

I checked for the clear bra and found an installer who does it for $375 installed. Does that sound like a reasonable price? I found it through the X-pel website.

As for tint, anyone know if the ceramic tint is worth it (ie, Huper Optik/V-cool)?
