Hey guys, I got my black on black 06 TL a year ago and want to tint the windows. Can anyone tell me of a reputable place in T.O where I can get tints for a good price. I don't want cheap tints that will bubble or fade color but I want proper tints at a good price. I googled tints in t.o and got TintKing and Mr. Tint...Has anyone used any of them and which one would you recommend or do you know of any place that does a good job for a good price?

Thanks!

P.S. I'm in Scarborough

 

?

 

ProTint in Whitby did an awesome job on my last car. Looked great and never had any problems with it. They are around $270 for a TL.

 

Audio Heaven. I took my G and my wife's TSX (from Windsor) up to Toronto to have Jeff and his crew tint my cars.

It's in Richmond Hill. Google it.

 

Krowne Lakeshore?

 

This is the place you want!
www.thornhilltints.com

these guys do amazing work

 

Auto-links.

Probably one of the shops with the best reputation around the GTA.

 

Either one of these two, both are extremely good.

DO NOT go to Tint King, especially the one on The Queensway, they are horrible, unprofessional, and think that bubbling (they call it silver something) is acceptable.

 

Auto links is very good,had my car done at Lazer Tints in Vaughan,very good shop as well but more expensive than others for the same tint.

I had the Pinnacle Formula 1 ceramic tint done and couldn't be happier with the quality of product and workmanship.

These guys?
They're pretty close to my home. It says they have one location, but I coulda swore I saw another one just off of Birchmount-Eglinton somewhere.

 

I took my tsx and lancer to audio heaven, real good quality, and good people.

 

Took my all 3 of my cars to Apple Auto Glass in Markham. Was charge $240 for my TL recently. Had it on my 2006 TSX for about 3 years and my 2004 Acura EL prior as well. Doesn't fade or bubble.

 

$180 in Hamilton for my entire tl. Amazing work and lifetime warranty. NTD tint.

 

EJ Tint in Markham is where i got mine done recently. was recommended by a friend that has done multiple tints there.

 

Thornhill Tints...just google it and you will see why!

 

Thanks! I see a few people mentioned Auto Links, I checked out their site and they seem proper. I'll go pay them a visit next week. Is there anything I should know about the better kind of tint. Any recommendations like % or kind of tint I should get? I don't want a dark tint and I want it to look stock on my black TL.

 

I have mine done at FX Auto. The quality was good.

 

Auto-links uses FormulaOne tint.

You can either go with their Classic series or Pinnacle (ceramic) series.

I went with 35% to stay legal and have a good amount of visibility at night.

I find somewhere around 20% looks the best, though.

 

What's the difference between classic and pinnacle?

 

Classic is dyed, Pinnacle is Ceramic.

Both are top quality as expected from LLumar (parent company).

 

I don't know what that means but it appears the Pinnacle is "better"

 

autolinks.

 

Pinnacle ceramic tint is awesome,i have the 30% and is still amazed by its clarity when driving at night.

Yes the Pinnacle series is the better tint.

 

i put the charcoal 17% on the back and 35% on the front. i really wish i just did 17% all around.

 

anyone drive ok at night with 20% all around?(except drivers side)

 

A lot of my buddys have no problems with visibility at night with 20%.
The only thing is that if you want to go darker than that, get brighter reverse lights.
You also get used to it I heard.

 

im 17% all around

 

Gonna stop by Autolinks today [Wednesday] during my break to check out a quote.
Otherwise I saw Audio Heaven, from Toronto Accords, is doing a sale for 197 with Solargard or something of that sort. I'm pretty sure they do good work, but I haven't a clue which tint would be better---if it matters.

 

Mention you're from RedFlagDeals to John (Auto-links).
They usually have an annual group buy, and last I checked, it was still on.

I got a good quote =)

 

Getting it done now. Bit more than audioheavens... forgot to bring my moleskin as i didnt expect to get it done now. Getting the 30pinnacle series.
Thanks for the tip GP

On an unrelated note, never heard my car be driven by someone rlse from outside before. Dang it sounds good

 

Also since i didnt expect to do it today (theyre booked when imbusy) i have a bumprr with lip sitting inside my car along with all my school things.

 

I have 5% all around lol

 

Dang how do you look out of 5%? Im looking at my car as they put my bimper back inside my car and 30 seems dark lol

 

You can see fine during the day, at night it produces a little harder to see but just roll the window and make sure you have rear view camera.

 

Driving home, 30 is perfectly fine. Except things appear darker in the rear window than they do the sides. Can't imagine 5% while backing up lol

 

just got mine done today in brampton. 18% all around $150 lifetime warranty

 

what's the name of the place

 

My buddy is interested in this place too!

--

Also, anyone need moleskin? I have a roll that I forgot to bring with me when I got my tints. Autolinks charged 10 per window.
PM for price or look for my sale thread.

 

FX auto all the way ... I have had at least 6 cars tinted there and never had any problem.

Just had my TSX tinted last week, pinnacle tint for $275. It's not the cheapest, but it's a very fair price and when it comes to tint, if you plan to keep your car for over 2 years you don't wanna save the $50 or so and be sorry.

 

What's the name of the shop?
