How much did it cost you and how long have you had the tint?

I had good luck with executive motoring on hillcroft...I haven't had them do my Z, but they did my honda before and i was very pleased. Looked great and stood up to 2yrs of houston temps without a scratch or bubble. Not too expensive either.

I'll second executive motoring...I got my tint and alarm there. It's fairly cheap and they do a LOT of business so you know it's good....it's not the best, but it's quality for the money. I paid $100 for my tint.

I got the Z tinted this past Saturday. I went to Executive Motors on Hilcroft. Those guys did an AWESOME job! They had great customer service too. I called up Express Tint on Beltway 8 and 59 first. I didn't like the customer service I was getting over the phone, so I decided not to go there. Thanks for the referals guys.

When I got my new car last week, I asked the Internet Manager who did their tinting and he gave me the name and number of the guy who did all the tinting for the dealerships on I-10. The guy did a good job, I was the only person there, but there were many dealer jobs waiting. He backed out a F250 to take care of me. 3 guys worked on my car and they were done in 30 minutes. Lifetime warranty.

I also called Sterlin McCall Nissan on 59 and the Beltway. They wanted $250.00 - $300.00. I told them I thought that was a little pricey. Executive motoring did it for $200.00. Did an awesome job. Got 35% all around.

Tomball Tinters on 1960 hooked me up on my Maxima when I was living in Houston. Had it for 2 years and still looks good.

I also went to executive motoring for both my old 300 and my new 350. They do a good job at a fair price and will put 20% or even 5% on which is technically illegal. Can't get that at the dealer.

Still looking to get mine tinted... I'm on the South side. Any recommendations?

Also, how come one person above paid $100 at Executive Motoring, and another paid $200???

It depends on the grade of tint you buy. Executive sells different grades of tint ranging from basic window tint to metalized films that reflect heat better.

One thing to be careful with Executive is never pay what the salesman quotes you at first. The price will always be high. I negotiated the price on several different cars and was able to reduce the quotes by $50-$75.

Hope this helps!
