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

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.

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!

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

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.
