Default Tint in NC

I am looking for a good tint place, I have heard horror stories of the back glass being scratched, the tint looking horrible, hanging down etc. I live in the Rocky Mount area, which is ~ 35 east of Raleigh. Anything reasonably close?

Thanks

If you ask this question at www.Horsepowerjunkies.com I bet they could direct you to the right place. It's based out of the Raleigh/Wilson area.

I'd also recommend a chain called "Pro Tint". There are franchises all around.

There are two Formula One tint shops in the Raleigh area. Kinda steep prices but quality is top notch plus i believe it has a lifetime warrently which is honored by their shops all over the country.

My vote goes to FormulaOne also. That is where I had my Z06 done. But, DO NOT use the Apex location. I had a previous car done there and it was a disaster. Took it to the Raleigh location, run by Keith, and they fixed it right. Also, FormulaOne has a new type of tint that uses ceramics instead of metal so you can go as dark as you want without the mirror result. I am legal on my tint for NC with the ceramic and it is a lot darker than the legal using metal tint.
