I went to tintmaster in Mississauga - www.tintmaster.com. It is a very good place. Good thing about them is that they don`t use a knife on your windows. They have a plotter which cuts out the exact profile of you windows.

Their tint has a lifetime warrenty.

Mine is like 35% (the legal threshold) on the sides and 5% around the rest.

i have 35% on my z now and find them too light .. i would suggest either 25% or 20% and unless you're driving like a heatbag like church, cops wouldn't harass you unnecessarily for your tints.

to be honest how dark tint will look will depend on youre interior color-if you have tan interior or a light color the tint will look lighter than a car with a dark interior naturally-i personally think too dark of a tint looks bad-i like z's with 35% all around-also the biggest thing is the fact that the z has small windows and it makes the tint percent look darker than it really is-just some things too keep in mind

FX Auto does the same thing, the pieces are pre-cut.

haha ok it ended up being 250 + tax

on the way home (driving south mccowan, at that plaza by finch) i see a m3 parked ... with something on it. turns out the m3 was saran wrapped lol so i pulled in to take some pics. (used a bb, quality not very good.)

here's the tint. 15% ss, tan interior. turned out really nice, just what i wanted. the person at fx says it looks more like a 20% because of the tan leather.



now the m3 wrapped... in saran pic
