wahoo_shoe Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Monster, if you want 830 I'll take noon. I may go wash/detail in the morning. Or I'll take 830.

melissa99 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Posted September 6, 2012 I had you down at 8:30 for a minute as a placeholder after getting your PM. Doesn't matter to me - I'll be there all day! 8:30 is pretty early... it probably makes the most sense for me to take that one. Everyone else can sleep in a bit.

Nanite Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 How late is Carlos willing to hang out and do tint jobs? What type of tint does he use? (dyed, pigmented, Suntek, ???) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "BLAK" 2007 MCS , Hypersport Body Kit, Alta 3" Cat-back exhaust, DoS CAI - ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
wahoo_shoe Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 I'll just stick to legal, don't want the hassle, although if someone before me gets 35% all around I may be enticed to 35% on the front sides. I don't know if that messes him up... Front Side Windows: 50% Rear Side Windows: 35% Rear Windshield: 35% I'd too like to know some deets about the tint type (3M?) and warranty info.. 2011 Clubman S - LzB/Black "Clubby" Go Wahoos!

TheMichael Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 well, crap. That filled up fast...
melissa99 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Posted September 7, 2012 Here's some info I just got from Carlos: I use Global QDP. It is a metal free, color stable film. I have been using this film for over 10 years. I do stand behind my work. If any problems pop up I will take care of it, as long as you own the car
wahoo_shoe Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Look up some reviews on the stuff, people seem happy. Heat rejection seems to be poor, but if it's the QDP (not QD), the tint itself has lifetime warranty and purple-ing doesn't seem to be an issue. Can't figure out if it's dyed or ceramic, I think dyed I wish I knew what my brother's Mustang has. He's got a gunmetal grey '06 and it's tinted to 35% all the way around and looks beautiful. 2011 Clubman S - LzB/Black "Clubby" Go Wahoos! Saving Second Base, One Mile at a Time!

GreenCactus Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Carlos did Cricket's tint 3 years ago. I've had no issues and it still looks great. I have 50% all the way around.
wahoo_shoe Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Good to know! I'm considering 50 all the way around due to nighttime vision and such. I wear sunglasses whenever the sun is even remotely out anyways. I think i'd rather the uniform look, but I haven't decided.. 2011 Clubman S - LzB/Black "Clubby" Go Wahoos!

Nanite Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 well, crap. That filled up fast... I like the quote from Carlos that Monster99 posted. That Global QDP has some pretty good reviews. Perhaps we can schedule another tint party after this one. You, myself and I know of at least one other is a nice start.

wahoo_shoe Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Hey guys, I just found out my mom's having outpatient surgery earlier in the week so I'll come early, but may bug out shortly after to go over and help out.
