Question Huper Optic tints in Chicago area

Hi all, I have decided to have HO tints installed on my car and I was
wondering if any of you have put HO in your car, where, and for how
much. I am currently in California and I've been quoted $595 which
seems a bit steep. In 2+ weeks time I will be in Chicago so if anyone
knows of a good place for HO tinting (with prices even better) do let
me know. Thanks.

I know a guy who does a real good job in tints and has done a few of my cars and all of my friends cars. See if he has them.\His name is Brad Wagner 630-971-1700 If you mention Josh Douglas from Elmhurst BMW, he give you a better deal because I have sent him so much business.

hey nick...

precision tinting does it in your own backyard(orland park). i was quoted a price of 425. i thought that was kind of steep; so i went and took josh's advice and saw brad wagner. he does madico tinting and does not have huper optik.


EDIT: i was quoted 450. i just saw my old post.

Thanks for the info. Will definitely pass it on to a friend of mine because I
ended up doing the HO tints to my car while it was in CA. And while it was
expensive, I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with it. Thanks again.
What r u doing up at this hour man?

huper optik supposedly keeps your car cooler with their tints. they say it blocks the strong heat compared to other tints. i am not sure if its true or not, but i know they do alot of commericial building windows also.
