Tinterz celebrated the grand opening of its new Clearwater location on February 1, partnering with Energetic Exotics to bring together automotive innovation, luxury experiences, and community engagement. The event highlighted how strategic partnerships are playing an increasing role in how growing Florida-based companies launch new markets and connect with local audiences.
The partnership with Energetic Exotics, the Tampa-based luxury car rental and chauffeur service, shaped the tone and scale of the evening. The Clearwater location was transformed into an immersive event space that attracted car enthusiasts, local business leaders, and members of the surrounding community.
“This partnership with Tinterz reflects how we think about growth. It is not just about showcasing luxury vehicles, but about creating experiences that bring people together and elevate the automotive community in Florida. The Clearwater launch was a natural fit for our brands and our shared focus on quality and customer experience,” said Antwan Shirley, President of Energetic Exotics.
Attendees were welcomed with live music and a DJ, alongside an open bar featuring a martini bar and wine bar. Mediterranean cuisine was served throughout the night, while casino-style games and a live installation demonstrated Tinterz’s craftsmanship and technical capabilities in real time.
A major highlight of the event was an expansive giveaway made possible through the Tinterz and Energetic Exotics partnership. Prizes included one full-body vehicle wrap, two full frontal paint protection film packages, five window tint winners, ten $200 service certificates, and two days of complimentary Lamborghini rental provided by Energetic Exotics.
Luxury vehicles supplied through the partnership were featured on site, reinforcing the alignment between the two brands and their shared focus on premium automotive experiences. The collaboration emphasized a customer-first approach that blends performance, protection, and lifestyle.
Marwan Saaban, the founder and CEO of Tinterz, added, “Opening our Clearwater location was an important milestone for us, and partnering with Energetic Exotics allowed us to turn that moment into something bigger than a traditional grand opening. We wanted to create an experience that reflected the level of craftsmanship and service we deliver every day, while building real connections with the community.”
The Clearwater opening marks a key milestone in Tinterz’s ongoing Florida expansion strategy. With strong attendance and a partnership-driven launch, the company is positioning the new location as a regional destination for high-end window tinting, paint protection film, wraps, and ceramic coatings.
