Default Houston window tinting

Can anyone recommend a good place to tint my windows?
I want to go to a place that is familiar with the 350Z and
won't freak out when they see the window go up when you
close the doors. Every place I've called so far is like, "350 what?"
or they'll ask "is that a 2dr or 4dr?" Also I want to go as dark as possible or maybe even a bit darker than the law allows. Any suggestions?

I had mine tinted at Executive Motoring. Ask for Brandon.

Tell him Howard sent you

Located around Westheimer/Hillcroft.

I have the Nichrome film. They have tinted a few 350z's already.

Thanks Howard. I spoke w/Brandon at I'm going to get it done tonight after work. He's got a special going for only $59.95!
That sounds really cheap. Hope he does good work. I was expecting to pay about $150.

I went there last night but I need to take it back today. There was some sticky residue on the passenger window from the car's sticker price. They didn't even bother to properly clean the window before applying the tint. Instead they just put the window film right over the residue and it looks bad. BTW, the $59.95 price is for the cheap stuff. They just quote this price to get you in there. I bought the good stuff (Diamond) and it cost about $200. I also noticed that it's bubbling a little from the auto-up windows when you open & close the doors. I'm not so sure about this place

Hopefully they can re-do a better job when I bring it back later today.

if you have any problem, just bring it back. If it's not fixable, they will re-strip it and retint it. They did that on one of my friend's Integra with no charge. But it's suppose to be no charge...

Take it back....make sure you are satisified...

At our club Christmas Party this year, I won a free window tinting from Mossy Nissan. SURELY, they'll be able to do it right. I'm worried about the moving side-window thing.
Has anyone had experience there?
It's a loooong way from my house and I don't want to have to keep going back.

Apexi...
the tinting that you're talking about...is it the rather silvery-looking stuff, instead of the dark gray/black?
I've seen one 350 with it and it looked SWEET !
Just didn't know what it was called, but that's what I want !!!
Thanks,
Zcardave

I gave Lance a call and he did a great job. Thanks for recommending him. He was able to tint my car the same day I called him. I got 20% lifetime. The total was $145 after taxes.
