Tints in Toronto...and what's the allowed %

I'm looking to get tints put on. I'm guessing this is a pretty standard thing, so I'm willing to go to the cheapest place that people know about.
Does anyone know of a good place in Toronto that will do tints for cheap?

and also, what percentage should I put? should I go like 25% in the back and 15% in the front and front windshield?

any advice is appreciated.

I think you got it backwards. You want 15% in the back and 25% in the front. My advice would be 5-10% in the back and 15-20% in the front. In the US, it would cost around $100-$150 for the job. Make sure you go to a quality shop, so that your tint doesn't bubble up later on. But most places now offer lifetime guarentees. Good luck.

max you can go in the front is 35%

the best place to do it in TO is Thronhill Tints...ask for Rich
He does it for BMW, Mazda, VW, Honda and most other dealerships up around yonge and steeles...

The place I went to charged me 120 only. He does pickering Toyota and does some by the side. I have 35% all around. I regret not having him do my mirrors
