Scion fr-s Tinted windows

I'm debating if I should tint it or not. Dealer tinted or find some shop on my own, post some pics of your tinted frs.

Dealer always doubles the price. This is how they make money on the pure price scion.

Go somewhere else.

Use the search function for tint compilations

Go with a shop, as 86_ZN6 said, search and find a good shop. Assuming you already know the tint laws in your state, make sure not to go too dark, or be ready to be pulled over every so often.

I went to California Tint, which is in Rosemead, I'm pretty sure you won't drive out here just for tint, but all my friends and family go there and they have a good reputation around 626.

There were numbers on the different shades, I think I chose #17? Or some number in the teens, I think that means 17% visibility? I'm not sure but it was the shade right before the darkest. Lifetime Warranty. $120
