Sounds like good timing for me. $180.00 for a sedan? Any type of warranty on it? It's not Tint Professor anymore, so I am not sure if they still have the lifetime warranty.

Any idea on the tints used? Sounds like a good price, although a fairly long drive away from me!

From what I heard (called again) it is the Premium One film that is on special, not all of their films.

The other films are standard price. He said the Premium One won't come out as 'darkest legal'. He said it is just one shade?

I always go to ARMA for my tint. Had a BA done for 190 and a Tezza for 220. Great quality and prompt service.

malazn mafia, how did you get $190 - $220 quote? I called ARMA, for sedan they quoted from $250 - $300 range, depending on the film. Which ARMA store and film type were that quotes from?

For anyone trying to contact ARMA, their online request form is useless. Filled in details but no body trying to contact you back. Also, their store details is not up to date. I called one of their stores but they said they were no longer with ARMA and quote me for $400 above. So, be careful.

Second this. He's done a few of our cars now and no problems years on. Last car of mine he done was about two months ago. Just took my Navara around to his house and he had it done in under an hour.

Do they do 5&10% tints or give the old "legal tint only" jargon.

They do illegal tints. I got into a big argument with the arrogant sales guy there simply because I wanted limo tint on the back of my van but darkest legal on the front windows so I wouldn't have insurance issues if in a crash or problems with the police. The sales guy was trying to make me get limo tint all round.

This was 2008 prices. Maybe things have changed since then? There was a 20% mate's recommendation special on at the time as well. I went to the store on Sydney Road, VIC if that makes a difference.

As i said, i have had 3 cars of mine done, 2 of the mrs, and about 5 mates. no issues... maybe you guys have the problem

they do illegal tints, but will advise against it for obvious reasons.
