    I got mine done at Solar control in Monroeville. Toby is the guys name. Been doing it for about 15 years. Very good friend of mine.

    I got my Cobra tinted there twice. I had 20% for like three years then took it back and he switched it to 5%. My dad had his GT tinted there too. I'm happy with the tinting he did on our cars.

    I tinted my old Honda Accord and my friends Firebird. It is not easy and I would recommend taking it to a pro. It's very easy to make a mistake and if you don't do it right then it will end up looking like crap.

    did he do your back window in 1 piece? thats the only thing i didnt like about my back window. At the top by the dotmatrix or whatever thats called,toby only tinted up to that so theres a lil gap. I've seen other stangs where the whole back window was tinted and they've never had any problems.

    I had mine done at tccustomized on 51, I'll be honest they did an ok job, but they ripped me off on the price. I was quoted 160 for everything, then they added 40 for the windshield banner, then once the had my car for about a hour, they called and said they were charging me an extra 120 to take the exsiting tint off. And they told me the rear would be one piece, and its seamed at the middle, and as rob said they also did not take the tint all the way to the top. I wouldn't go back to them, I bought my wheels through them and they scratched the hell out of the lip when they put the tires on.

    Yes, he does all those types in one piece. So far Rick has only done my windows on my Acura TL.

    Rick did not do my Cobra, I had a guy who used to live near me do it but he moved away. That guy covered the dot matrix but to be honest that is the only part that is not done as nice as I would have liked. You can see that it is not uniform looking if you know what I mean.

    Here are a couple sites with good info:

    Yeah, Toby has done about 10 or 15 of my cars. There is really nothing you can do with the dots on top of the windows. Just work them in for a few weeks after the tint is applied. Thats how I did both of our fusions.

    Yes, the rear windows are all done in one piece. The fox must have the biggest rear window out there. Its done in 1 piece.

    Bauer Auto Detailing in Washington Pa...

    Ask for the Tony, he is the manager. They usually tint on Tuesday evenings, but if you needed it done I'm sure they will work something out.
