Pittsburgh Crew < You
Window tint dude fell off the face of the earth. I am talking to the guy that did my Z26 years ago out of Terry's auto glass up on Rt. 30. By far the best ive ever seen. Unfortunately he is expensive. But his **** is lifetime warrantied not to fade or bubble or any other defects. Im waiting for him to call me back about a group rate for both coupes and sedans.
Thanks
I talked to the tint dude tonight and this is what i got: Price will be about 180 per coupe and about 203 per sedan. If you want a brow across the front windshield it will be about 15 extra. He can do 2-3 per day, during the weekdays. He would be done with 2 of them around 5 with the 3rd being done no later than 7pm that day. I forgot to ask him about weekends but i can call him back. He didnt make mention of weekend work so i dont think he works on weekends. He does all rear windows in 1 piece. Only in special circumstances does he have to do it in more than one piece. He can tint the dot matrix but recommends a piece of black vinyl. The tint is a hybrid metallic/dye mix. It is guaranteed to never turn purple. It is warrantied and guaranteed to never bubble, crack ect... For door windows he tints an inch below rubber strip on inside of door to prevent peeling and he tints to the furthest edges of the window width wise. He leaves anywhere from a 32nd to a 16th of an inch of glass untinted at the top edge of the door windows.
He is more expensive. But i can speak from first hand experience from having my past car tinted by him - it is perfect. It is worth every penny IMO. 1 other friend of mine that got his windows tinted by him bitched about the cost until he saw the job he did and then ended up tipping him and his crew. Its that good. Let me know. He is booked for the next 2 weeks straight. So there is some time....
Sport Red Dave....did i see you on 30 by Sonoco coming toward GRBG tonight around 8:15?

Ya tomorrow and saturday im down for anything. Someone give me a call. Im gonna try to get my SRT buddy out this weekend also. He said he will probably come out if he knows ahead of time so he can drive out from New Ken. What do you mean full detail for tomorrow? Detail as in cleaning the car?
New post. We're goin' to some kind of club 2moro nite. For those who aren't 21, or if you're married, sorry. If anyone has any ideas, drop us a hint. As of now, it's lookin' like Matrix. It actually doesn't matter where we go, as long as we're not standing in a parking lot for 4 hrs.

First off... I'm in for whatever tomorrow at whatever time. Just keep me posted on what, where, and when.
Second, I'm in for tint, but I have a question... does he need the car all day for that? That seems kinda long. I know there's a shop in Monroeville that quoted me like an hour to two hours. They came highly recommended from a lot of people around the area too. They were about the same price... probably a little cheaper.

Ohhh... I thought you guys were all going to Uniontown last weekend to get tinted???
I'm heading into the burgh to my cousins' place tonight ( I think ) , so I'm out, but I'm up for something Saturday night as it stands now.

Brian, are you up on mount washington ever when you are in pittsburgh? I've seen a black ss parked on virginia avenue a few times, including st. patty's day. wondering if it was yours.
Just to throw it out there... Smail Auto Glass does tinting and from what I saw when I worked there, they did good work. I had asked about getting mine done and I think the cost was $180-ish for my 2-door. Metallic film, and they also recommended black vinyl on the dot-matrix. Not sure of thier schedules/availability, just thought I'd throw some info into the mix.

Well there are a couple of people around my place that have had there cars done - an Evo and a WRX - and they look great. I know I asked the Evo guy how much his cost and it was like $135 so I will try to find out where he had it done, what kind of film it is, and then maybe give them a call to see if I can get a group rate as well.
Yes he needs the car all day. I know who you are talking about in Monroeville. I think its called Solar Control or something like that. I personally wouldnt go to him but to each their own. If im going to pay top dollar, i know i can trust john and his work.
I believe that the tint he uses is Solar Gaurd. I will ask him for sure next time i talk to him.

He didnt mention weekend work. But i will add that to the list of questions to ask him next time i talk to him. If Terrys Auto Glass is open on saturdays, maybe i can coax him into doing this on a saturday or 2. I know he is bound to the working hours of Terrys since he rents their garage space.... Ill find out for you.
If we all don't try to go on the same day it should work. Go in teams, but only one guy get the tint done that day. If you can get a day off during the week, I'll pick you up there so you have some sort of transportation. I agree, Terry's does cost a bit more. But, they take their time and it's worth it. Quality work. lf anything happens to the tint, they rip it out and do the whole job again for free. I can't recall anyone ever having a bad experience w/ Terry's, though. I'm in no hurry to get mine done. Plus, I make my own schedule at work and I can go pretty much whenever.
The flower Shop.. wallace flowers... is family of mine. i used to work there summers.
But no.... that wasn't me. St. Patty's night, my car was parked over in Baden ( up 65 past Ambridge ).
If you see a black SS up around Crafton Easter weekend... that' will probably be me.
Look for the K&N sticker on the Driver's door 3/4 window, and "racePA" stickers on both 3/4 windows.
SHOULD have my new wheels and tires on by then
Dan, give me a call when you get off work. My son is getting picked up at 8, so I'm free at 815. "IF"we're planning on goin' to Pittsburgh, we should pre-game somewhere around here first. Beer is too expensive at the clubs.
