Anyone looking to get their cars windows tinted? I am
Right now my car has 35% front and 18% rear tint. I don’t like it because it looks to be titanium or metal based tint. It has a lot of green reflection to it. Kind of like silver sunglasses but greenish. A few years ago that was the top of the line stuff, it reflects light and VU rays very well but I don’t like the look of it. My old car had a dyed tint, dyed tints will fade quicker and will can purple over time but I liked the look of it better. It was black looking, or black tinted looking. Mine was 7 years old and the purple colour just began to become noticeable.
My uncle just got his windows tinted by a guy that we have used or recommended 9 or 10 times. The tint on his car is a metal based (I believe) tint, it is not nearly are greenish as my tint but still to green for me. I asked the tint guy for something less green but he said that, that all of his tint from that manufacturer is greenish.
--------------
So I am going to removed the tint on my Z and get it redone with a Charcoal Dyed Film, this will look black not green. I have been looking around and I am going to go to Audio Heaven, I had my alarm installed here they also do allot of business with The Toronto Civic Club. Feedback has been good. I went and spoke with Jeff the owner and explained my expectations.
The web site says
Solargard HP True Grey Metalized Window Film
Starting at $179.99- Lifetime Warranty
Solargard NR Charcoal Dyed Film
(A Dyed Window Base Film )
Starting at $199.99- Lifetime Warranty
But its $189 on the TTC forum and they quoted me the same.
2 door cars are $189
4 door cars are $199
We may be able to get a few bucks off if we group buy this, is anyone else looking to get their windows tinted?

I don't want my widows tinted (I actually took my tint off my car) but I've dealt with Jeff on a few occasions and he's a good guy to go to. Very customer focused.

need tinting
definitely a plan that I have not carried out for a very long time. I also want a black tint and not a greenish one. I am down. I got my 01 prelude tinted by the tint king on queensway and kipling area about four years ago and the price was pretty much the same as you are being quoted. Please let me know.

I just moved to nova scotia and removed all of the tint including my front windshield. They seem to frown upon tinted rides here in halifax. I will miss the look

Add you name to this list if you are interested, once I find out how many people are interested I can talk to them about a discount.
Solargard NR Charcoal Dyed Film
(A Dyed Window Base Film )
Lifetime Warranty
2 door cars are $189
4 door cars are $199
I am sure they offer I higher level tint but this would cost more, add you name and info anyway though. I am looking at this tint because it does not have the greenish tint to it.

They sent out an email saying 2 door cars are from 179 plus taxes until April 30. If you can score a better deal then put me in.
