Ok... Spoke with the owner of Winner's Window Tint (http://winnerswindowtint.com/) and got some info from him.
He can do a group buy/install for us for $159 edit: now $150 !/car (flat - taxes included). This price goes for 2dr or 4dr cars, but ONLY VWs one caveat: New Beetles can not be done for this price - apparently they're very difficult and time consuming to install tint on. This is for Solar Gard (http://www.solargard.com/) films (good stuff from what I've read).
He said a Saturday would work best (they're normally closed on Sundays, but could possibly arrange something for us if we have enough). I would need to give him about a week's notice (so let's get this going)...
We could also possibly arrange to have parts of the group at the different shops (Rockville, Annapolis, Frederick).
So here we go... If you're interested, post what kind of car (and # of doors), which location would work best for you, and your weekend availability for the foreseeable future. I'll keep this post updated with the count. I'm going to try to crosspost this on Vortex.
04/11/07 Afternoon edit: We're on for the 21st in Rockville and 28th in Annapolis. I've given him the information on the cars that should be at the different locations on the different dates - please don't flake out! They open in Rockville at 9AM and Annapolis at 10AM. Please show up as close as you can at these times so they can get us going - they will have other customers coming in throughout the day and we don't want to hold up their other business.
I wasn't able to accommodate a few of you (pgde, level_10, and Charolastra) on your first preferences (time, date, location, etc.). You can call them at either the Annapolis ((410) 266-6788) or Rockville ((301) 738-8468) stores (ask for Lawrence and mention the VW group buy). He can accommodate you guys at some other time (or location) that fits your preferences better.
Some other good news, I got the price down to $150 flat per car. It's not much, but it's a couple gallons of gas, no? If you want to get a front visor strip done, they'll do that for an extra $20.
This is for Solar Gard non-metallic high performance smoke film. I asked about Huper Optik films. They can do them, but they're significantly more expensive and would run somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 per car. You can discuss this with them at the shop if you're interested in that.
