The funny thing is that he mentioned that he went online to research the car before quoting the price and discovered this forum topic, haha.

Elite Window Tinting (Portland)
14200 SE McLoughlin Blvd Unit K / 503-786-1020
12115 Southeast 82nd Ave / 503-659-8468

The entry-level tint would be $179 and would carry no warranty against fading or purpling. The 3M tint would be $299 and warrantied.

I always have them do the 3M Color Stable film which is higher end stuff and they charge $300 for the FR-S in this film unless you can prove your a returning customer then they'll give a discount. I think I got them down to $270.

They did break my 3rd brake light and being mine was the first they had done I can understand. I took the brake light in to show Zach (82nd location) and he said he wasn't sure they did it but he would "fix" it. I was kind of surprised they didn't just own up to it and offer to replace the part, especially since I've spent a couple thousand dollars with them.

I would highly recommend this shop even though they failed me on the brake light. I say take it to the McLaughlin location and boycot the 82nd ave location. Not many people carry the 3M line of film and IMO it's the best.

FR Auto Enhancements

In fact, my wife wants to get her SUV done there now after seeing how good of a job he did on my BRZ. So we'll be heading back there in the near future. Fred said that he does graphics as well, so I'll also be getting my roof done with gloss black vinyl soon. Overall, it was a great experience with friendly staff.

I will be a return customer with my next car. I have already referred a friend there and would recommend Davy and Fred to anyone looking for a high quality job at a very attractive price.

Highline Customs (Beaverton)

No after issues with the taillight or the rear deck, and they even taped my window controls and turned on the automatic lock for the windows. Did you know that this prevents the window up-down thing that happens when you open/close the door? Good to use for freezing weather. $175

I payed I think $225 which is a little on the higher end but it looks good

The tint guy got on the phone and when I told him which car he quoted $215. It was only after I got off the phone that I think his comment about "that little two-door Scion" was about the IQ and not the FR-S.

If I remember correctly, mine was $260 for all the windows tinted to 18% (Except the front windshield of course :P). They do the professional way of tinting by overlaying the tint and filing down any excess to make a perfect fitment to the window.

503 motoring does very good work but is often more expensive.

http://www.503motoring.com/


Also autobella, which is prolly a bit cheaper.

Tommy's did a fine job on my STi 3 years ago, but I can see your story happening there. I remember the girl and that attitude matched what I remember.

[DarrenDriven]

Called them up. Thanks!

[blu_]

That is pretty damn cheap for 503.

I don't know anything about Suntek which they use according to their website..

They did a clear bra for me once I was very happy with. They also use arguably the best detail/paint correction guy in town.

[DarrenDriven]

I ended up driving up to Tacoma today and got 260 miles closer to my break-in.

My old friends Eric and Chong at Fastlane tinted the car for me. 20% all around.

[Chen]

Anybody have any experience with them? I'm getting tint added by them on Wednesday and was curious if I should reconsider. Also what % tint would you all recommend?

[DarrenDriven]

How much are they charging you? I did 20% all the way around on my Asphalt, but it's illegal. You gotta stay 35% or lighter if you want to keep the law off your back.

Thanks for putting that together. For some reason the search feature didn't pull it up. but I get quoted the 205 that was mentioned above. I may just go 35% but may go a tad lighter. Just for getting pulled over sake. After I get this done. Ill be back with my review and experience with them.

[Alexis]

It's 541, not 503 (yeah yeah I know, move out of the sticks)...but I had mine done at Trifer in Eugene on Hwy 99N, 35% and it looks fantastic. THey're pretty much to go-to people around here for tinting. The BRZ looks even more bitchin' now

[Cade01]

I will be looking for a place to get two of our cars done in Eugene sometime soon. Is Darkside not doing tint anymore? I've had good luck with them before.

I think they still are too. I haven't gone to them but sounds like they do a good job as well, not sure of the price comparison. But Trifer did a great job on the ones I've seen and on mine, looks awesome Highly recommended.
