Looking for a place to have my widows tinted in the Nashville area, any suggestions?

I'm looking for the same. I am near Murfreesboro and no one will touch my back glass. I am glad because that means they are not up to speed enough to touch my ride

I made an appointment with Performance Films in Nashville this week. They told me that they use vinyl to cover the rear dots. They are also not very expensive. I looked them up online and they responded to several emails with questions I had. They were the only company to respond so I made an appointment. Hope this helps.

Well, all went good. It took them 3 tries to get the back glass done, but it looks great. I went with the LLumar CTX tint and when all said and done, approx $360 all in.






There is a little space around the dots, but nothing bad like I have seen on the forum





This is the worst of it. This is under the vinyl piece he put in.





Pretty close to 2 hour to complete, but he did the back 3 times

360 is pretty steep in my opinion. But that was in Nashville correct? I guess the cost of doing the curve is steep! Was the tint a really good quality tint? Im not up to date on the variety they have? Looks great by the way, what percentages did you do?

Performance Films is in Nashville. I got LLumar CTX at 35%, the legal limit. The CTX is the best. Look at their website, www.performancefilmstn.com, the have all the different types listed. Prices are also listed on the site.

on a side note...Solar Insulation(Nashville) did mine back around 2002 and it cost $295. AND the back glass pictured looks better than mine did.

Talked the local guy into tinting it. I was at the point where I had rather have ANYTHING over the purple that was coming off from previous owner. To remove tint and re tint it was 200. Looks really good except he shaved off some defrost lines and the Orange is not all Orange on the back when looking from the outside. I'm trying not to think about that part lol

Solar Insulation in west Nashville has done 13 cars for me. In business since 1975 and offer lifetime warranty. Call Rachel at 615 329 2500 for appointments and tell her Randy from the Z club recommended them.
