you can't get any tint in the front...it's illegal. When people say all around they mean excluding the front.

Here's some pics I took earlier to give people an idea of how it looks and how dark ~ 25% is.

yeah they showed me 15% so they'll do it for you no problem, too dark for me though.
I'm very happy with what I have now.

It takes anywhere from 2 to 5 days to fully dry out depending on conditions. I park in an underground lot so it will probably take longer, but as I mentioned yesterday there is a minimal amount of bubble, I'd say you could count on one hand how many there are.

I'm very very happy with the quality. Those guys do work for at least 5 seperate dealers on their new cars before they are even sold. In fact they rarely deal with individuals, so we really are getting a great deal.

If you have any other questions let me know, but you should make an appointment with them and get it done

I know it's a few weeks since the last Post

Can you still get me the deal at Vital. Where are they located?

I love this forum, it truly is an RX-8 owners' bible.

Thanks!

can i still get in on this deal? what place did u see u ended up going to was it audioheaven or fxauto?

also, im really conflicted to find the right tint levels for my galaxy grey rx8. For some reason i think the grey will look bad if its too dark. but im pretty sure I'll need it to hide my illegal LCD movies on the front dash.

What tint % is your car? I'm going tomorrow. They will stay late for me because I can't make it out till after 5:30 so I think I will go with the 25%.

Update...

These are the wrong directions or wrong location.

This is the address that I am going to for my tinting.

Justin
15 Crockford Blvd.
Unit 5
Warden and Lawrence
1 blk after Warden Beaver Gas Station turn Right- Crockford Blvd.

BTW this is a $cash$ deal and you get a warranty with it!!

Yea I went to them...they only have 35, 20, 5% tints...
They did a great job. Check back to my previous post in this thread for a pic of 35% all around.

Edit: I suggest getting the metallic tint (unless you have the Nav cuz that may interfere with it). Even though my tints are only 35% they do a great job of blocking out the heat from the sun. I got the front sunshade and my car isn't an oven anymore after work when I arrive at the GO station.
