Kirks in baton rouge did my tint. Came out great!

I think it was about $275 w/ lifetime warranty. They sell Dark Matter tint. Good stuff.

They don't do clear bras do they?

B&M graphics quoted me like $180 for tint and $450 for the clear bra, which is pretty reasonable but their hours are shit (8AM-5:30PM M-F). They are, however, the only place in Baton Rouge I've found that is trained and certified to install clear bras (xpel).

Don't even have the car yet, but I wasn't super impressed by the audio when I tested it out at the dealership. More worried about the lack of physical buttons right now though.

Edit: http://www.bmgrafix.com/ Looks like this place installs Xpel clear bras and does window tinting. Anyone have experience with them?
I'd highly recommend you take a trip to Kenner and let Express Auto Salon do your clear bra installation. They work on high exotics everyday. They just recently installed Xpel Clear bra on a purple Lamborghini Diablo.

Only place that is allowed to touch my car for tint, vinyl, or details.

They also have pretty good hours. I was there til almost seven today and I'm almost certain they open on the weekends.

I really appreciate the recommendation, but I can't go sit in someone's shop for 7 hours.

I'm going to take it to B&M Graphics next week and let them tint it and install the clear bra. They're actually the only xpel factory certified installers in the state according to xpel's site.

xpel hasn't updated their site then. EAS is one and advertised in Dupont Registry. good luck with B&M.
