As the title says. Thanks.

Not very many places have any experience with these older cars. I used to go to a DPR place in Plano but they decided to go mobile and closed up their shop.
It's also getting really pricey. I got a quote a year ago for my 75 911 coupe for $600 for the good tinting film plus install, and they wouldn't promise not to cut the seals. |

I had a good experience with Alta Mere on Lemmon. Granted this was 15 years ago. It was who the local Lexus dealer sent me to. altameredallas.com

I used Alta Mere as well, it's got a good reputation and they did a fine job on my '88 Carrera. This was several years ago so I suppose things could have changed but they've been there for many, many years.

Alta Mere just quoted me $450 and reccomended Llumar Air Blue 80. Removal of old tint estimated $125-225. Can tint windshield for additional $250.
He said it costs more to do this car since there are no digital patterns to do the cutting. Maybe we can find some?

Tritek is good and well regarded (better than the Alta Mere in Plano)

I've had Claudio at Pro Tint in Plano do several cars and they were always perfect! It's been a few years but all were great experiences. They were at Preston/Arapaho then but I think have moved closer to Plano.

I had Tint King in Frisco put a ceramic tint on my Targa that came out pretty good. He's a one man operation that has been doing tint for quite a while. I want to say the total a year ago was around $500.
A bit of a drive from Dallas but happy with the result (especially on the rear targa glass). |
