Default Window Tinting in Denver - Are You happy with your McDonald Audi tinting?

Okay, first of all I did search the archives and came up mostly empty. One S4 guy recently recommended "American Window Tint" on Broadway, but I was hoping for more than one persons opinion. Somebody named "Poke Chop" asked for recomendations on Denver tint shops a couple months back, and got zero replies. Other people seemed to be recommending "Randy the Tint man" or "Jazz it up" just based on clear bra installations.

I live and work on the SE side of town, so I'd like to do it somewhere East of Broadway and south of Colfax if possible.

I've seen quite a few crappy window tintings (thankfully none on Audis), and I don't want mine to be one of them. My wife is convinced that I should just go to the same place that the dealer goes to (so in other words if I don't - and it turns crappy - I'll get the "I told you so"). McDonald Audi seems to take all their clear bra and tinting jobs to "Integrity Dealer Systems (IDS)" just a couple blocks south of the dealership. I figure there must be some owners in this forum who had it done by McDonald. So here's the question - are you happy with it? Any regrets? (Also what year was it done - in case I find out IDS has only been doing it for McDonald's recently?)

I'd be more than happy to get any other tint shop recommendations. IDS seems to be a bit cheaper than American Window Tint, but I don't care as long as it's between $150 and $300. I'm leary of taking it to Tint Crafters or any other place that seems to advertise lower prices.

Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!

Default Well, I went to "Tint Crafters" on E.County Line...

They did a nice job. I had it done on Monday this week, it was ~$172 for a 28% all around (not windshield nor sunroof) job using something called "lifetime film". Since it was cold and snowy on Monday I went back on Tuesday for him to touch up a couple of tiny spots that had bubbled but it looks good now. I might yet go back for a quick touch on the back window. Give Clay a call, 303-804-0133. Tell 'em I sent you, Silver '00 1.8TQMS Good luck!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/SBRD640.jpg"></center><p>for a semi metallic tint @ 35% on my Santorin Blue A4. He does a great job on windows and clear bra's, IMHO.
