PM'd ya about the guy my friends have all used. Need to get his # when I get home today. Once I saw the tinted MINI's at the Dragon, I really liked the look especially since I have a balck roof, I think it will look much better with darker windows Now, I just need to find the time to get it done!

FYI to any cincinnati folks...i went to Pro Touch in Covington and got a great tint job in < 1hr for $140. THe place looks kind of ghetto but they had 4 guys working on my car all at once.

I highly recommend "BIG PAPPAS" on RedBank, off 71 , under Erie Ave.

Rick is the tinter there , tell him Dr. Phil sent you, he has done 4 cars for me

Bringing back an old thread! I just read that the Ohio State tint laws only allow a 50% tint!? Laf, that's rediculous.

My brother has a 20% back 30% front on his Focus, and his GF has a 10%back 15% front tint on her Bug. Has anyone had any problems with tinting?

I recommend Spade Creations. They do excellent work. I have had five vehicles done by them with no issues. They are at I-275 and Hamilton Ave.

I have pre-cut kits so all you have to do is stick them with no cutting. That way almost anyone can install it.

Can anyone give me the number for Big Pappa's? I was thinking 20% all around on my IB/B MINI! And how long/how much did it cost you? Two front windows, 2 back side windows, and rear hatch.

I have another question. I read anywhere that there's been problems with getting the MINI tinted, because of how the windows roll down 1/2" when you open the door. Is there any solution to this? Should I just put my seats down and crawl out the hatch for the cure time? And how long is the cure time usually?

Oh, and what is Big Pappa's policy towards tints? Fading, peeling, bubbles, lines, etc. Limetime warrenty?

Thanks a bunch!
-Cody I'm hoping to get this done very soon!

Edit* Anyone have the number to Spade Creations? I am also considering them.

Spade Kreations # is 513-742-9380. They have done Three SUV's, two Passats and my Phaeton. They are very good at their craft. Tell them I sent you.

I'll post pics when I get it back. I brought it to Spade Kreations, who charges $160 for everything minus the windshield (which is another $150, but I didn't get that done). And they also have a lifetime warrenty.
