Recommendation on Windows Tinting?

charwai · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2007, 04:31 AM

Anyone knows any good/reliable place to have my car windows tinted? I saw different brands of film out there and don't know which kind/brand is better?

If you have any good experience with windows tinting company, please let me know by PM'ing me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Toy yoda, I've got your info but a friend of mine told me to get my windows tinted when weather is warmer, wonder if it is true.... but I never got my windows tinted for my previous rides. They either got factory tint or no tint.

I got mine tinted at mitsubishi motors because my buddy is one of the techs there, they guy they have come in is really really good. No imperfections at all.

My Toronto dealer installed the tint before I left their parking lot, it cost me C$450 (14% tax included), it's 20% all-around as the Ontario HTA is very vague about tinted windows, opposite to the BC, Alberta and most of Eastern Canada where the law is very strict on this issue, I think in BC and Alberta you are not allowed to have ANY tint on front-side windows...

i got all my windows on my fit tinted, even the 2 small front ones. the guy at shades tint in port moody did it all for $190, and that comes with a life time warrenty. my pass. window was pealing a bit on the bottom (nothing mojor) and the guy re tinted the window....

Does the film bond permanently with the glass, or is it something that can be removed fairly easily later? Have seen some pics of Fits with tinted/privacy windows and I think they really look good. I test drove some CR-V EX's before deciding on getting a Fit, and I really liked that tinted rear glass. Would like to get it on the Fit when I get it in the next week. I am driving an '86 Civic Wagon (proto-FIT!) and it's really annoying on Hwy 1 when a big truck or pickup pulls up behind you with their lights at your eye/mirror level. Hopefully the tint would help that a lot.

thanx

Perfect... N-Motion has a section on their website showing the whole process with photos. Thanks for the info smatts.
