I am in Seattle, and wondering "for those with tint". Where did you or know a reputable, yet reasonable price for tinting.
I like to get tint or IR tint for my HB. Thanks!

What did you get, and from the place you suggested?

How much and how would you rate them in terms of quality install to price ratio?

Do you have an post install pictures?

It was ceramic window tint.
The pricing was much better than compared to "Custom" type shops or larger dealer types; and the quality was spot on IMO.
I do not have pics unfortunately. You asked about a location that did good work for the price and this was one such location.
I will add that, as employees transition through employment (at any given location) - quality might differentiate. I'm sure you can understand that variable. But, I was 100% satisfied with both the pricing and installation.

Just pick about 4 reputable business' and call them. Ask what brand(s) they use or if you can choose your own brand, which windows you want to get done, and get a pricing quote from them.
You can also try to find any reviews that may exist for that business and use those as references to make your decision.

IR tint on all the glass might run you in the neighborhood of $350-$450 depending on the brand. Hope that helps you out.

I will be getting my done soon at AccuTint for $470 (Ceramic IR).
I plan to go see the color shades on the day of.

What would you recommend? Coming from TX prior, I typically get the lowest %. However, Seattle is obviously different than TX when it comes to sun - so, what is the common one here in WA or Seattle?

Well, that's always a great question :) Some people go pimped out DARK and Some go middle of the road. That depends on your preference and abiding by State Laws (if that is your choosing). Do you want discreet privacy or an addition to your vehicle for both look/comfort/and interior protection? Questions like that.....
I think that a 20-25% provides adequate shading, since you will be IR anyway and keep with the same shade throughout the windows.

$470 is just about spot-on with what I thought the cost would be.
Ensure you let everything "cure in" afterward. They might inform you of the immediate behavior you shouldn't do with the fresh film on the windows. So, no drive-thru's for you :)

Legally, it's 24% in this state I think. I have mine at 30% all the way round and also did mine at accutint with the Ceramic IR. Great job, didn't take too long, install was perfect.

Meant to update this with some pics of before and after.

Before: one with HID kit installed but no tint.

After: lights off, but work IR tint (30% VLT) all around, no brow.

Accutint did a great job, in 2nd week and still no issues.

Pictures removed

I’m based out of the Tumwater/Olympia area. I ran into a Type R in Centralia earlier today! The owner wasn’t signed up on the forum here, but I hope he ends up joining. If anyone’s hosting a meetup in the area at some point I’d love to come out as well.

Honda Civic 10th gen anyone in Seattle? B43A0E51-49B1-4D43-9F69-8E338DB9807D

How do you "Not" know he is on here already?

Also, yes - still hoping to get together with some 10th Gen Civic meetup/fun! :)
