I got mine tinted at FX Auto on Heritage Road

http://www.fxauto.com/

Tell them you heard about them from the RX8 Forum and ask them for the club discount. I got mine done for $300 or $350: all the windows and a sun strip on the front window as well. It took about 3 hours, but they had great service.

Another question,

Does the Sun Strip blocks the rain sensor or head light sensor?

Audio Heaven guys.
Mazda3 club has a discount there. And as long as you belong to a club, they'll follow through with a discount.
Got my bro's 3 and my 6 done there. Bring cash, they'll give you a deal.

Thanks for input...

Still want to know if a front window shield banner will block the auto headlamp feature.

is he talking about the auto-tilt? or do the new 8s have the auto headlights where they automatically turn on the HIDs when it gets dark?

I am talking about when it gets dark, it turns on the HID.

I know the sensor is some where near that area if I was to put a banner there.

when i went to fx they gave me one. it was 300 after everything i believe. that or 350. It's been a while, so my memories a bit shaky.

What i got was the Ceramic Tint on all of my windows. 25%?? all round, 5% on the rear doors with the sun strip at 5% as well. Life-time warranty is included in the price. It's cheaper if it's not ceramic tints i think
