Rocky Mountain Tint

stooken · 07-23-2007, 02:57 PM

There seems to be one in Fremont.

Is this the same as the Livermore one? I dont really feel like driving to Livermore if the Fremont one is good as well.

shragon · 07-23-2007, 04:09 PM

there's other ones as well. but i believe they're all different owners.

the one is livermore is good. i got my last car done there.

grod · 07-23-2007, 04:35 PM

Fremont and Livermore are different owners. Had 2 cars done at the one in Livermore, great service and good pricing.

stooken · 07-23-2007, 04:46 PM

Damn.. I guess I'll schedule an appt for Livermore then.

Thanks guys.

+1 on Rocky Mountain in Livermore.

I had mine done 2 months ago there.

BMW F22 · 07-23-2007, 05:38 PM

Looks like Im gonna have to make a trip to Livermore soon too.

California Auto Tinting in Campbell has raised the price- $400 now (and Im a returning customer). yikes!!

Let's go together!

BMW F22 · 07-23-2007, 08:38 PM

When r you going? I gotta raise up some $ first. lol

Also, do you know how long it'll take? I dont wanna be waiting around all day.

evoi19 · 07-23-2007, 09:43 PM

They usually get it done in about 3 hours if you bring it in early in the morning. I'd call to make an appointment. $399 for all the windows minus the windshield in my e90.

evoi19 · 07-25-2007, 11:49 AM

it's looks darker in certain parts of the day. Especially on a cloudy day the tint is darker than on a bright sunny day.

Here are a few of mine that i had done at Rocky Mountain.

And yes we both have 35%

yeah you can see through 35%, especially on a sunny day.
You can even see through 20% on a sunny day unless it's either gloomy outside or if you look at it from the side. If you want total privacy you should go with 5% (or 15% which will help quite a bit).

BTW CA Auto Tint doesnt carry ceramic tint. Eh well. I've heard some good things about Omega Tint Werks in Pleasanton. I think you can get the entire car tinted for about $225.

evoi19 · 07-25-2007, 12:05 PM

Yea FormulaOne Pinnacle series comes in 50, 35 and 15. I was going to get 15, but i rather have not have to worry too much about the police. I really like the 35%. It looks classy and it's not overwhelming to the car.

My rule of thumb is a darker tint on lighter cars and lighter tint on darker cars.

evoi19 · 07-25-2007, 12:07 PM

Oh i should also say that the Pinnacle tint isn't very reflective when looking at it from the outside. It's more of a matte finish which i really like too.

Anyways, good luck guys!

Minipuck V 2.0 · 07-25-2007, 12:47 PM

dayum 399 for a tint job?

i got all 7 done for 110 .... hahhahahaha not sure i wanna move back to nor cal if mods cost that much

droptop335 · 07-25-2007, 01:05 PM

+1 on Rocky Mountain Livermore. Had my 98 540 done there a few years ago, and Matt (owner) provided great service and a top notch job.

On sunny days with light interior (beige), the tint appears light. Here's a pic on an overast day. It appears much darker

+1 for Rocky mt tint in LIvermore, gotten 3 cars done there. Excellent job.

what's the state law on tinting the windows? from what I heard is 50% max on front side windows, no tint at all on the windshield, no limit on the others... please correct me if i am wrong....
