I spent $240 on my " 9 " windows and i hate the way its done. I told them i didn't like the bubbles on the back window, and they said it would "go away"


I would NOT go back to them again

well i was told the same thing, and they did go away, but i inquired "what if" and they told me to just bring it back if they didnt go away and they would fix. My experience was better than yours i suppose.

When I came back, they "didn't recall working on my car" Meanwhile after they finished on my car, I gave them all demo's of my system

The reciept they gave me was a business card. It was the worst $240 i ever spent on my car.

And by better, I just mean no bubbles whatsoever, and the lining up of the tint on the window itself (like when you roll it down and you see where the tint was applied (on most cars) I have a very thin trim - perfect).

I'll have to throw up my pictures I took, I said I would throw it on for them and I never did. Not a good time, but I'll try to do that soon.
But yeah, I would definitely recommend.

I mean, the whole RedFlagDeals website will recommend you that other shop, and from what I know they do good work as well, but after going there and looking at a hole in a wall, not to mention I just like supporting a car audio shop a little wee-bit better, I thought I'd hit up Audio Heaven. And that was a good choice on my part.

Choosing the tint percentage was difficult (in my mind) but I gave it some thought and had a general idea of how dark I wanted to go.

It really does look different on every car, every model. 2 doors are different from 4, white cars are different than black ones. I drive a dark blue 2-door, so I went with 23% all around. I wanted it dark but I came to realize that I don't want anything illegal, plus other family members drive the car on occasion, so I didn't want to go over the top.

On a family car, I'd do 35% all around - the tint is DEFINITELY worth it, I gotta say that, love the look and I love the heat reducing benefits (when I'm driving, when the car is sitting) ...
If you want to get really "Ghetto" than I'd go 5% in the back, 5% all around if you want to ask for trouble. But 20's are dark enough IMO.
I already have the hard-to-see syndrome when it's night and raining so ...
