The best in Texas is Pablo Blues in Webster.

Just leave it there for a few hours, have lunch nearby and pick it up.

What a professional experiece!

Can they do the "dots" in the back window right? All but one I've seen looked horrible.

I did my 98 C5 about 5 years ago at Sunbusters off Research and Duval and they did an awesome job. It still looks brand new. They did the back window in one sheet and it turned out great. Hopefully I'll be picking up my 05 C6 on Monday and if I get it tinted it will be at Sunbusters!!!

The Shade Shop did mine, and I am not happy with the back window. I am going to give them one more try, and if it doesn't work, I'll be looking as well. Not a problem with the shop/owner, don't get me wrong, I just need a place that can get it done.

Thanks

Sunbusters has done the last 5 vehicles I had tinted, never a problem. They also did alarm installs on a couple of cars for me.

If I remember right it was the 3M, but not sure, think whichever was the best. Service? You suppose to service these things Oil changes I bought the oil and took to a oil shop in Cedar Park...Other then that didn't need much done. I try to avoid the dealerships in Austin. Good luck.

Default Tinting your corvette or any other car

Take it to Texas Tint 512-740-7023. the guy has 27 yrs experience in Window Tinting he uses nothing but Sun-Tek Ceramic Window Tint the price was the cheapest I had found in town the guy is an Artist in window tinting world . He dropped me off at movie while my car was being tinted by the time movie was over I texted him he came and picked me up and my car was done it was a great experience so I got to go see a movie I've been wanting to see instead of having to wait in some ugly boring waiting room for several hours possibly the day I was very happy the Job he did it was amazing two thumbs up for Texas Tint.

I have used Suntint on Koenig for 10 years on several vehicles. They are the best imo.

Default Window tinting in Austin TX

We have had several cars done here, including my Corvette, & have been satisfied with their installation & how they don't mess with the cars. Professional job, pleasant to do business with. Quick turnaround. We live several miles away & would do business with them again.

Sunbusters 183 & ducal. They have done almost a dozen cars for me and I have never had a problem. Pay the extra for ceramic tint in this heat
