"Hard core tuners" don't try to make their car look like the higher-end model of the same thing. Nor do they put on gaudy wheels that don't fit, get interior trim spray painted, put TVs in the car and do zero real performance modifications. We call those 'ricers.' And someone who pays a shop $30,000 to do the above, we call them 'idiots.'

The car is ugly. You completely ripped the guy off. What is the labor rate, per hour, at RPM?

You also make yourself out to be an idiot by posting the way you do on this forum, which happens to be a gathering of possible customers. Once again, as I tell you every time you post on these threads, I am amazed.

Good lookin out for that FC735, just goes to show you that bomb digitty service that Advanced Tint is known for, ANNOUNCEMENT: The federal government just announced a 1 time $500 tax credit to tint your crib("DO THE GREEN THING"), we give absolutely free estimates, works just like an SUV but for your house, infact check out our sister website www.advancedtint.com and see why the finest homes and the best businesses choose Advanced Tint Co. for their window tinting needs, and always remember every time you turn that a/c on, your burning that expensive gas even faster, let us eliminate up to 80% of your interior heat, so when it's 90 degrees outside we'll make your vehicle a rolling refrigerator, so to sum it the money you were going use to try to keep your interior cool with your a/c on 4, we'll have you turning the a/c down, so it is truly for FREEEEEEEEEEE, that's why the $500 tax credit. "When the Heat's a Mother, Advanced Tint is your Daddy!" 1st Place 98 East Coast Tint Champions.

So, I was wondering to myself - "Self, why do these guys brag about winning a window tinting championship ten years ago?" So I went to Google, searched for "East Coast Tint Championships." Didn't find any sort of website for the event but I did find this:

soo, i just got my dcab back from the tint shop. i chose this local place called "advanced window tint" but their shop is really a cheesy car tuning shop (chrome wheels, stereos, NOS, intakes, exhausts, honda civics parked outside, etc) called R.P.M.

i went with them because theyre advertised as VAs #1 tint shop in 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, and 04 and won 1st place in 98 at the east coast tint championship. they guarantee satisfaction and preach about seamless windows by master installers.

anyway, i tinted my GTI twice, both times were between $170-200 for illegal (VA laws are 50% front, 35% rear). for my taco i got 35% all the way around and it was...$275!!

i guess its my fault cause i didnt even ask about the price when i dropped off the truck. i just naturally assumed theyd be around $200 or so...i mean, its 5 FLAT windows...no curves, no defrosters, no splicing. anyway, i suck for not asking.

i was thinking of having them do my stereo but i feel like i was overcharged and that doesnt make me want to come back.
Really, it's like the Chicago Bulls reminding you ever time they do a press release - "1997-98 NBA CHAMPIONS." Now they're missing the playoffs.
