Anyone in Phoenix care to recommend a good place to get the windows on a MSC tinted?

Thanks in advance!

Since the dealership did mine, I can't really tell ya. But it sounds like you're getting your MINI soon, eh? Are you going to join me for my run down to Tombstone on the 12th?

What part of town are you in?

I would go for the LIMO tint all the way around.
Most places will do this for you.
Looks good, and helps with the heat.

I don't think I'll have it by the 12th. It's being loaded on the truck on Monday (7/7/03) in NY and they're saying 10+ days to get it here. I think that's worst case. The last time I shipped a vehicle, it took 5 days on a mixed load of vehicles.

I'll be joining some of the trips but it may not be until the fall. My wife's nephew is here from Sao Paulo and we'll take him on two trips in the next month. Then, I'm headed to my parent's home on Aug 2 for a week and then I have another trip to Brazil in late August. Damn... my butt is sore just thinking about that one.

I'm in Ahwatukee BTW and am looking forward to meeting everyone in the near future.

Hey guys,

That's the first thing on my list when I drive back this week. Get the windows tinted.

I have a client who runs an auto detailing business and does window tinting. He'll be doing mine. He does three shades generally to keep things simple....light/medium/dark....dark is the equivalent of limo tint. Too dark for my tastes....my last car had a 30% (or light) tint and it wasn't enough I think. I'm going with medium for the Mini!

I'll call him for a price quote. I'm getting mine done for free as a favor.

Okay,

Call "Smitty" (His name is actually Myron Smith) at Motor City Auto Detailing.

480-570-9750

His rate for the mini is $140. He'll be happy to work out an appointment with you. You can tell him Hafid passed on the information.
