Oahu: Window tinting?

So, my beloved arrived and immediately failed inspection - window tint is too dark.

Fine, be that way.

Any recommendations on tinters on Oahu? Can't have her not have a nice tint - the tint and the black belt line make for the mean look / snarl.

Search tint in Hawaii Forums.

You can see examples of legal tint at the HMMC Coffee Gathering this sunday in Kapolei.

Yeah, I saw that. It'd been dormant for 3 years. Thought it time to freshen it back up some.

--If Keith is still the owner tell him you were referred to him by Keith, Teresa and Dustin's friend. He should give you a discount.

Got it done today. About 2 hours, about $200. About the nicest guy I've ever met. About the best window-tinting experience I've ever had. At their recommendation, I went across the street to a little drive-thru, ordered a big soda, and hung out with my book.

Special T is a viable solution for window tinting needs. If you asked me where to go, I would say there, without hesitation.

Any chance of getting a club discount for members of the Hawaii MINI Motoring Club? I know a lot of us are interested in paintless dent removal work.

You should go to our official club forum : http://www.hawaiiminiclub.org/forums.
