Feeler: Tinting Group Buy GVA(Vancouver)

taYab · 02-15-2011, 02:50 PM

Yau bong in Richmond is the most affordable yet reliable shop I could find.
** (I did contacted both n-motion and tint centre and their discount is much less)
So, the regular pricing is (based on rear windows and rear windshield)
$110 for roadster (E89, E85, E86 Z4)
$140 for coupe (E92)
$170 for sedan (E90)
$190 for SUV (X5)
Sorry for the confusion, to add driver and passenger windows, it will be $70 more from the above + discount

By GB, we get 15% off and + no tax for cash purchase.

Expected time for the tinting is 2-2.5hours.
Film type: SUN-GARD Perform-X slate
http://www.solamatrix.com/automotive_performx.html

GB finalized: Call 604 270 8992 to book your time

Is the standard film ceramic? If so I'm in. Got a friend who may be interested as well.

taYab · 02-16-2011, 12:53 PM

You have two choices
ceramic huper optik or standard madico film
I believe ceramic one is more expensive

Darklighter · 02-16-2011, 04:19 PM

I'd be interested in the huper optik for my Mazda5 as long as it's not shiny/metallic looking from the outside. 5 windows.

BMur · 02-16-2011, 04:33 PM

Any idea if the standard film will affect comfort access and radio signals? How much more would the Huper Optik be?

taYab · 02-16-2011, 10:20 PM

Haven't got the price response from them yet.
Any of standard film won't affect CA or radio signals.
But, huper optik does affect AM signals in some cars depending on the location of the receiver.
But again, our car has AM receiver outside, so I highly doubt that.
I will keep you guys updated on pricing.
If you are seriously interested, please include your name on the list, so I can negotiate more discount for more people.

taYab · 02-17-2011, 11:53 PM

I am contacting both Yau bong and Tint centre.
I will let you guys know about pricing as soon as I get back from them.
But, first we need 10 people to really lower the price!

nMotion do good job (comes w/ lifetime warranty), maybe you might want to contact them as well.

taYab · 02-19-2011, 05:18 PM

Yeap, I heard they are good as well, but they don't seem to carry huper optik which many are interested in.
Also, I don't think tint needs warranty because they should last more than your car unless some kind of glass related accident, which I don't think it's covered under warranty.
Nways, I will contact them about pricing as well.

machine · 02-21-2011, 01:10 PM

I was talking to a friend who has huper on his car, his tint was installed PERFECTLY but the problem with huper is that its too thick and on the back window (heating element wires) it does not seem to be perfect.

Just something to think about.

munich2007 · 02-21-2011, 04:35 PM

also interested if the price is right! put me down. 335 coupe

taYab · 02-21-2011, 06:41 PM

Pricing on huper optik is $380 for 3 and $500 for all around.
I am still awaiting the response from n-motion about the pricing.

taYab · 02-21-2011, 06:50 PM

Anyone interested only in huper optik should drop them off from the list.
Tintcentre doesn't seems to be that interested in Group buying discount.
I have contacted them numerous times on GB pricing and only discount is like 10% or so.
I will try n-motion and Yah bong.

machine · 02-21-2011, 11:35 PM

^ cool, thanks bud. Keep us posted

Yvette · 02-22-2011, 12:18 AM

nMotion will definitely do GB price.
I remember some member tried to do this GB w/ mNotion like 2 years ago....lol
