Looking for a good installer to work on my car. I just got a new 2008 Camry and I want to have new speakers and a sub installed.

Also, looking for a good tint shop. The last place I used trampled the sh*t out of my carpet and didn't use drop cloths to catch the water.

A Big one is Whittier Tint Shop but they are expensive. I haven't heard bad things about but other than they are more expensive than other places. Everyone knows WtS

The guys who trampled my car was at a place called "The Tint Shop" in Rosemead. Not sure if they're even in business anymore but I'll never go back to them. They left lint specks and dust in between the glass and film too.

Finding someone to take the old stereo out should be easy. Just leave your car parked for 30 seconds and a helpful person should come by and take care of it. Putting the new stereo in is just as easy as locating that person to get the new stereo back, assuming it hasn't been hocked by the time you find them.

I took a look at the rear, you have to remove the deck to pull the speakers through, you can't do it from the bottom. Additionally, the dash tweeters don't look very easy to get to. Then I'd still have to pull cabling for the amp. I figured with all the work involved, I'd rather just pay someone to do it.

:laugh:

I've lived in the San Gabriel Valley since 1992. There are definitely some ugly areas here. :eek:

Just for giggles, I checked with my Toyota dealer. They want $220 for all windows.
