20% from carbox industries/option jdm
Anybody else got theirs done there? Is it true that it takes longer for the tint to cure in the cold? The little gaps/imperfections is annoying me...

i'm getting mine done at Auto-Links as we speak. I'm going to pick up my car in about an hour. I'll ask what they say about curing time in the winter.

i got my car tinted and clear bra at Auto-Links today. I was told not to worry too much about the auto roll down, but if i don't have to use the windows then don't use them. They also told me don't worry about the clear bra. Too bad on my way home it started snowing. I hope that won't damage the clear bra.

The snow won't hurt it as long as it's installed properly - it'll just take a little longer for the solution under the film to evaporate since it's so cold.

Ok so...! How have the autolinks tint jobs held up everyone?

Thinking to get this done, probably 15 rear and 30 in sides. May swing by there this saturday and get a price for ceramics.

So far so good. I'd recommend that you go there when it gets warm probably around May(hopefully it doesnt snow) so that it fully cures properly. If your doing every window except the front it cost 260-300. If your doing every window including front windshield it comes to 400-430.
BTW they have lifetime warranty so if it peels go back and replace it.

My tint is perfect! It doesn't matter what time of the year you go, doesn't matter if the weather is warm or cold. I got mine tinted in February. AutoLinks is top notch.

The price for the tint is posted on their website. Since i got my tint AND clear bra there i got a slight discount, but if you only do tint then the price is what's posted.

Auto Links does good work. The tint they use is also good quality. They do charge a pretty $$ though..


Norb @ Carbox also does great work and I'd also give him a call - he is likely cheaper.

Got mine done at AutoLinks today, good job, great atmosphere, good guys, I would definitely recommend and will probably get more work done as finances allow (mebbe clear bra next)

Went 30 sides, and 15 rear pinnacle ceramics.

Compared to the last place I went,(Protint in Whitby) they quoted me $20 less, but they need to learn a lot about how to treat customers.
