APEX restoration, in Beaverton is having an open house/BBQ tomorrow. See their website: www.apexrestoration.net.
They do clear bras,tinting,graphics,detailing, etc. Ask for John. A bunch of us from Mt. Hood Corvettes are going to be there!

Thanks for all the in put on window tinting here in the PDX area.
IT looks like Apex had done a bunch of vette's, so experance is on there side.
I have a friend in the Auto, ding repair, busni and he can get me a discount at Tommy's
in SE PDX on SE 12 street. Anyone know about them. THey have been around, in know for a while and top end dealers use them.

I just got back home from Apex, in Beaverton. My windows now are tinted, and looking very nice. I have to tip my hat to the fellas over at Apex for doing a top rated job.

I may have to check out this Apex. I would like to have my side windows tinted. How dark are you people tiniting your windows? And to do the rear that has a factory tint, do they remove the OEM tint or tint over it?

OEM tint? I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

The legal limit in Oregon is 35% opacity and I decided to go with that. So I had both side windows and the rear done and it looks really nice with black
