I just called Nino at umbra directly, have an appt set up for Monday, his pricing is always good, no need for a GB really.

i might see you there. need to see him again to get my front drivers window redone. it will be the second time there for this issue. (it keeps getting 'caught' after a few days and would peel) particularly with the coupes because of how the windows would roll down when opening the doors.

i think you should still go for it. it's not worth not getting it done at all because it 'might' be defective. many people have had it successful with no problems at all. worst case scenario, he provides a lifetime guarantee for as long as you own the car. what % are you thinking of doing?

slightly off topic- umbra now uses only ONE type/brand of tints now. they are now a certified seller of this one brand which i forgot. they are not able to carry any other products as well. i got it done march of last year so he had to special order my tints in order to redo them for me. fwiw.

GunKata · 05-13-2010, 10:31 PM

Cool, maybe ill go for it then. Probably 30 or 35 in the rear, and then 35 or 50 up front. I don't like it too dark on the front windows, so ill figure it out when i get there that morning. Hope to see ya there!

Its Llumar tint. Perhaps one of the best quality tints I've seen. I've had it on my old VW for 4 years and the tint never showed any sings of turning purple, wrinkling or any other defects. It kept the interior of the car significantly cooler.

ultimate · 05-16-2010, 03:28 PM

gunkata, what time are you expecting to go tomorrow?

GunKata · 05-16-2010, 09:22 PM

10:30, and Evan Lee (my car's former owner) is going at noon I believe. What time you going?

I'm excited to purchase Evan's trunk and get the tints on, next its making a final determination on wheels

ultimate · 05-17-2010, 02:33 PM

wth. it's been roughly three weeks now since umbra said they will have my tint. he kept on saying to call back in a few days until today i called again, still don't have it.

Spazdoc · 05-18-2010, 12:53 AM

Got mine done... Pinnacle Ceramic 35%, looks great, took just under 2 hours (only car in the shop). Cannot wait to wash the car, now.

wow, 20% is DARK. I had that in the rears only in my STI and that ish is quite dark - definitely looks cool, I'd just be worried about the po-po.

vasillalov · 05-18-2010, 10:53 AM

Looks very nice! Congrats and thank you for posting the pictures.

I think for my car I will go with 35% since I have a black leather interior. I also live in Chicago and I'd like to minimize the chances of getting a $250 tint ticket.

I might get mine done this weekend.

Good meeting you. Hope you have fun with the new ride.

As for Umbra, it seems like they are making appointments about a week or so out. I tried to drop in a few weeks ago, hence getting the tint this week.

GunKata · 05-21-2010, 09:09 AM

Thanks! yeah, Nino's place is busy, but thats probably because they are great at what they do and offer very good pricing. I have to go back tomorrow morning to get the small piece of vinyl for the rear windshield and the dot matrix.
