Im looking for the best shop to tint your car in the GTA. Any suggestions would be great as well as the PRICE?

Aznek · 05-03-2012, 09:05 AM

I was interested in this as well. I checked on RFD and everyone seems to recommend either Audio Heaven or Auto Links.

l8apexr · 05-03-2012, 09:07 AM

try thornhill tints. they're prettty awesome.

01s0uljah · 05-03-2012, 02:01 PM

AutoLinks or Audio Heaven

oldskule · 05-03-2012, 04:09 PM

Autolinks at Kennedy and Ellesmere. Have a buddy that got it done there recently for his 5 door hatch, believe they charged him $290. Since this car has 2 less windows, I'm sure they'll charge less.

ahquit · 05-03-2012, 04:33 PM

Technically this car could have the same number of windows as a 5 door because of the small windows by the side mirrors. Prices may not vary significantly from a wagon/hatchback since I assume the bulk of the price is in the labor and there wouldn't be much less labor to do a small window vs. a large window.

In either case, I plan to go to autolinks after delivery!

ArKiTeCkT · 05-03-2012, 04:41 PM

Thanks for all your suggestions. Will be heading to Autolinks upon deilvery.

Good point! I didn't even really notice those small side mirror windows

Didn't notice? Baffling! I've never seen the car in person before but I've followed it so obsessively that I bet I could be blindfolded and still know every square inch of it the first time I get to it.

so did you end up taking your BRZ to Auto-links for tinting? How much did they charge you? And did you choose the Pinnacle or Classic series?

Thanks

Still waiting for mine

. Did you get yours tinted

pizzahead20 · 07-17-2012, 06:36 PM

Waiting as in you have an appointment for later on?

No I haven't done it yet. Can't decide where I want to get it done. I heard good things about auto-links but they are quite pricey compared to other places. But they do use one of the best materials I'm hearing - Llumar Formula One Pinnacle Series. I'm able to get quotes for under $200 at most other places.

Sh4rp · 07-17-2012, 08:40 PM

Still waiting for pickup of my frs, let. Ke know how the tints go and what you thoutnof service.

@pizzahead20
Waiting for my car to come....It should be here by end of July....
BTW where did you get your car detailed?

VirUzxZ · 07-17-2012, 09:35 PM

i went with the pinnacle elite and had my raven Tinted 15 all around last wed. Was my first Tint, saw some bubbles, bagan to worry, tint guy garrenteed me that they'd cure right out. tint guy totally spot on with the reassurance. Looks like the glass came tinted.

Over all Super happy with it. paid a bit over 3 after taxes.

side note asked about the tail lights to be done aswell. was told something along the lines of like 180. my tail lights don't need to be tinted that badly.....

Im planning to use red VHT spray paint for my tail lights.

brianc · 07-18-2012, 06:15 AM

When it comes to tints. Installation and tin film should be more important than price. Don't cheap out.

Blue FRS · 07-18-2012, 10:10 PM

If you are in the Oakville area i can recommend Touch of Tint.

driver01 · 07-19-2012, 05:00 AM

The ceramic tints i got installed at autolinks are amazing. The heat transfer is greatly reduced. They dont just make it darker they actually stop heat radiating through!

drei · 07-26-2012, 03:48 PM

i just booked an appointment at auto links for ceramic tints, will post pics and feedback when i get them done (next week)

styl3z · 07-26-2012, 05:08 PM

How much for the ceramic tints at autolink? I plan on getting tints done once I get my frs.
