Does anyone use a specific place that they like? Experiences? Recommendations? It's one of the few things that I DON'T do myself, and I want to find a reputable shop, preferably in the Snohomish county area, but Seattle, and surrounding areas are not too far for a known quantity. Thanks in advance!

Call Dean at A Shade Above. 425-844-8456. I have been using him on all cars for years. He will come to your place and does a great job.

I had Prestige Window Tinting in Lynnwood tint our pickup last year. Did a real good job and was reasonable. I did talk to them about doing the C6, they said no trouble.

$350 for 2 doors, and a hatch, IS excessive O_o anything cheaper than that? I've paid much less, for more in the past.

look at the shape of your hatch glass, the curvature and design ... imagine trying to trace that and cut tint to the right shape. next, climb into the back of your hatch and imagine trying to apply the tint back there. now add in the ****** dot matrix design that you have to get it to stick to... : )

I watched my buddy tint my car. I don't envy the job. if I was a tinter I'd probably just turn down jobs to do vettes.

Except C5Z's.... Only issue with them is the Dots at the top of the rear window, some cut the tint below, some put vinyl on it, and some like me just live with the slight lifting over them....

The best solution I have discovered is to mask off the area, and paint it black. Makes for a more square hatch window, and no lifting.

I would think the best place would be on the inside. Those tints don't hold up well if you apply it on the outside.

Sorry, Erik...I couldn't resist.

ErikwithAK01

yeah, then the hood won't be the only thing lifting at 170mph

I used Prestige in Lynnwood also and he did a really good job. To get a good job in the hatch, it is much more labor intensive to do in one piece since it has to be shrunk around all the curves. Finished product looks awesome though. My tint's been on over 7 years and still looks good from them.

There's a really good shop right here in town. Auto Visual on Smokey Point Blvd. Rudy (owner) has done a great job on my Vettes and is reasonably priced.

I'll be taking my car here. They do a great job. I've had them do a couple other cars for me.

Did mine in October. Highly recommended.

It is costly to do Vette coupes. Get the best film they offer. Cheaper films the glue clouds the view. It will be wore with all the work on a rear coupe window.

The Dark Side in Lake City (206 399 0000 Cell or 206 367 7157 Shop) Carlos has been doing mine, friends and family for years. And very reasonably priced...his brother does windows in Bellevue at almost twice the price.

Ok, another question. For those of you that responded, what did the respective shop do for the dot matrix at the top of your hatch glass??? If I'm gonna pay serious money (enough to buy a cam) on window tint!? I'm going to require it to be absolutely perfect.

Ninety-Nine FRC

Elite tinted the entire window and told me if it didn't look good after it fully dried to bring it back and they'd cut it out and paint it black for $50. It looks ok but I'm going to have it painted in the spring.

To add, if I never do it I'm happy with it. It is very minimal "graying".
