Where did you get your tint done?

I'm looking for a shop that can do 35% ceramic tint on my car. I've just been concerned because I read a couple of threads where the tint job actually broke the third brake light on multiple FRS/BRZ. I usually went to Al's on my other cars, but they didn't have a third brake light placement like this car.

I went to Tintwerks, which is close to Nordstrom Rack and between all the expensive high rises nearby. They did a great job on mine, and even took off my third brake light and replaced it afterwards. =)

T&T Tinting but it was an add on when I bought it from the dealer.

The dealer quoted me $450 for the tint from T & T.
I didn't get it then and went to T & T by the airport on my own later.
I got it for a little bit more than $300.
I had to go back 3 times because it kept getting bubbles from the windows opening and closing a little bit every time the door opens.
They were nice and friendly without any bad impression even though I went back 3 times.
But I believe there are better and cheaper places out there. I was too lazy to do the research.

I had mines done at Al's and they did a great job cutting a hole for the third brake light

Wait....people actually cut out that part by the light? I went to MD tinting.....paid 160, been there a few times and sent a couple friends, so it will probably be like 200. 262-8468. Call them up.

They took off the light, there is a youtube vid up somewhere.

Mine doesn't have the cut out by the 3rd brake light. OP is looking for ceramic tint. 160-200 sounds too cheap to be ceramic tint. If it actually is a ceramic tint, then that price is hard to beat.
