Ok ok ok..... sorry and I know I can search, but i've tried that and I just didn't have anytime looking around for the post.

Does anyone know a good place to get the ride tinted.....35% all around, here in the Bay Area... (San Jose)

Hey Adrian. Go to Extreme Tint and Polish in Santa Clara; 408-727-9540. They did my car 35% all around and also tinted about 4-5 other E60 forum members: soc_fans, Merzbow, CoolTones, mikej.

They primarily use Madico tint and I paid $250 to get all windows except the front windshield done. They're located on Scott Blvd between Central Expwy and Lafayette.

A perfect example of "low overhead on the office space, but great work and good value for the customer"!


Here's a pic of the front of there shop. That's Rommel on the right, and Rest on the left.
Oh, and that's my car with the new tint (50% madico tint).

Ok, so quick question?

Took the car to Extreme Tint (Russ and Rommel *think thats there names* good people) anyway, they said that it was normal that there's like a bubble or wet spot on each window.

Here's the question: Is this normal? Did you guys have these sort of wet spots on the tint. According to Russ, the tint is still wet and needs time to dry. I maybe just a little paranoid and don't have the patience to wait til tomorrow.

Take it back to the shop. They might fix it for you for free.
