Tinting in Melbourne for eos ?

**artcrime** · 02-07-2008, 11:35 AM

Does anyone have a recommendation for where I can take the eos to get tinted ? I have searched the forum and tried a couple of places mentioned, but have been knocked back twice(too hard) and a couple of places dont do cars any more. I dont really want to take it to tint professor. Ideally I'd like to find a place that has done an eos before.

scuse the ignorance here... but what is so hard about tinting an eos??

I think the rear window is difficult to get to because the head rests are not removeable, and the other place was whining about breaking clips when removing the door trim they said they had no replacements. Also the fact that the window drops when you open the door means that the glue has to be well & truly dried before operating the door, means that they cant just push the car thru their production line like it was a commodore.
These were the reason I was given ;0(

Another forum I frequent has a few Melbournites on board.

They all unreservedly recommend:

He is more exxy than your Tint Professor but he's good at it.

ok... we have a nbc that we had the windows tinted on it and they had no probs with any of the windows on it. the door glass drops the same as the eos so dont know how they handled it.. but was told by the dealership that it was done by a local tinting place.. gathered it was tint a car or the like.

Rob was one of the ones that knocked me back, some concern about getting the door trim off.

Must be a real bugger of a job then.

Who does your dealer use?

Jeez Fred I think you got done over, a mate of mine who used to own a tint a car franchise said that the leather protector cost $6 per can and they would get 2 cars to a can, Tinting should cost 250-300 buxx - tops. Ya live and learn. A|C
