Default Recommended Tint & Stoneguard shops?

Just picked up my g37s, does anyone have recommendations for tint & stoneguard shops around seattle that is cheap & does quality work?

I'm also looking for 3M tint especially if anyone knows any shops that use that.

Thanks in advance!!!

If you have a crazy custom front I have to say Ben at Park Place, he did my Veilside 3 front; took him all day to do it and cost me $400 (Nissan charges $1000 for their bloody rockguard, and they messed mine all up with creases).

However if it is stock, I'm sure there are a lot of places that would do it cheap, just not the dealer. Park place has a rockguard template cutter, however I'm not sure how much they really charge for it; you probably can find cheaper.

Tinting, I have no idea.

Tint XXperts in Renton... 500 SW Grady Way Suite F
425-264-0552 ask for Jerome Ryan

This guy is by far the best tinter I have come across in my many years of tinting and I have to say you will not be disappointed. He's done 3 cars for me , 1 being my Z. There are no flaws or bubbles.. dude is a tint god!

I brought in my 240sx last year that had tint from 1996 on it, he steamed it off and re-tinted my car in under 4 hours, also the rear window is curved quite a bit and he did it all in 1 sheet!!!! DEAR LORD!!!


Yeah if you can tell I like this guy... he has skillz!

whatever shop you take it to, make sure you ask them how they are going to address the dot matrix on the side/rear windows. Almost every local Z/G has this problem with the tint not sticking

Park Place will cost $800 for the g35 full body stone guard, it is a bit more pricey than other places because it uses VentureShield (which is stronger and more clear than the 3m stuff, but it also cost more too). If you are just looking for 3M stuff, go anywhere else.

Eric, how much did your tinting cost (on the Z)? and what level of tint did you get? I'm debating on tinting my sides and back.

225 isn't so bad, I may do 40% sides/rear. I likes the look of tint on black cars.

Auto Trim in Shoreline does both, I've known both the tinter and stoneguard installers for about 10 years and they do exceptional work. All my cars and Romi's cars have been tinted by them and they are perfect.
