Question Tints in Calgary

Can anyone suggest a good place to get our Beetle tinted in Calgary?
I got my last Beetle tinted through the dealership that I purchased it at in Ontario and what a mistake that was.
So that I can avoid another bad tint job I would appreciate suggestions. Quality is more important than cost so as long as the tint is good please feel free to suggest a place.
Thanks.

Cool

Just got my NB back from the tint shop about an hour ago. Looks sharp! The "limo" tint is not too dark. Lots o' privacy! My tint shop has been doin' tint for 28 years and has done work for me six years ago. They use 3M tint film. The BIG deal is that they got the hatch window installed in ONE PIECE (instead of two or three). If you can get it done in one piece, you won't get those lines of separation on the seams as your tint film ages and shrinks...

Thanks guys.
I have been so busy so I haven't had a chance to get the car tinted yet I am hoping that once we are settled we can get it done.

Well..

Welcome to Calgaria, when you are all settled in I'd love to get together for a BEvERage (or coffee.. or whatever)

Hopefully you can make it out to some of the NB GTG's we have out here (New Beetle Club of Alberta)

Feel free to drop me a PM sometime...

Hey James,
A little more notice next time would be good.
We are pretty much settled in now so let us know what works for you.

My suggestion is to park your car far away from every other car in the lot. AKA an empty area. I have avoided getting a door ding for 2 years, it is the only perfect method of keeping your car looking good. Just suck it up and walk the extra 10 seconds to the entrance ;o)

Think outside the box like me, and rather than trying to find the closest parking spot, park in the one farthest away. It never fails to impress me how great my doors look because of it

I try to do the same thing...

But the wife gets mad "Why do you allways park so far away? there is a spot right infront of the door... "

sigh...

"My fast doesn't always get along with my girlfriend."

LOL!

My girlfriend likes how the car is a VW Bug, and that it's green, and even though sometimes she's not very understanding about how I baby it, she doesn't mind a bit of an extra walk to keep the car in good condition, she loves that car.
