John,
There's a guy down on 9 around midway. His name is Stuart, he is the best and pretty cheap .
He has done my wifes car , 2 trucks and a van for me all flawless. I haven't had the 928 done yet he has to remove the old tint , He said he could one piece the quarters and hatch . He is very meticulous but a little strange.
I don't have his number right here but his place is called "Sunshades"

Chris at Image tints in Rome, (where I work) did an great job on my 2 928's, It will run about $175-200. After the time they had with the rear quarter windows, I recommend don't do it yourself. Ed M

Did my own, however I tinted cars for several years. Don't suggest you DIY...

Before,



After,




The 928 is one of the most dramatic cars in the difference when tinted, because the glass is so prominat in the body lines on the rear 1/4 glass. As mentioned, it will also save your interior. Do it !

Fantastic! Only 10 minutes away. I'll try and look him up, get a quote and set up a time to git 'r done.

Hey Mel: What part of Jacksonville are you in? We'll be there Memorial day weekend at Neptune Beach on our way to Miami for a cruise. I'd love to see your shark if you're around that weekend!

Thanks!

I used 20% down the sides and front strip, and a 5% on the back hatch. It's made the car much "cooler" in evry way. My AC will run you out of the car, we've already had days approach 90 and my AC does a really good job even on the lowest setting.

opus59,
Where did you get it done in Montreal? What % did you do? Any pics?
I'm going to recieve my first 928 in a couple of weeks and want to tint the windows. It's a 86.5. I'll post pics / details when it arrives.
Thanks,
Brian.
Hmmm, not showing as a rennlist member yet. I'll have to email Randy...

Anyone in New York/New Jersey/Connecticut/Pennsylvania/Massachusetts that can recommend a first rate shop that can do the quarters and hatch with one piece? Obviously, I'm willing to travel for the right shop. Thanks.
