Several of us did. Carlos did a GREAT job, and gave us a group rate - but that was over a year ago. My tint is perfect.... and I'm really picky

Second that. I'm really happy with the work he did on my car. 35% tint on the driver and passenger windows, and 20% on the rest.

Yup, got mine tinted over at Darkside. Carlos does excellent work. I highly recommend his shop if you plan on tinting your vehicle.

20% all around.

And props to Skinless for coordinating the whole thing for us!

I did 35% all around as it's hard for me to see out of it at night - didn't want to go too dark.

Yep! My old 8 had 35% on the front doors and 20% everywhere else. I always regretted doing that which is why the new hotness has 20% all the way around.

Wanna know what's really sad? I actually stopped by Darkside on my way home from University Mazda when I took delivery of the car and setup my appointment for the following day. So the windows were tinted the day after I took it home! Well before the week later that U-Mazda put the spoiler on. I think the clear corners got put on the day before the spoiler.

Still waiting on a few things to happen financially before I get the full Mazdaspeed body kit. I was hoping to have that done by now but alas... sometimes things happen.

If you want to reduce the light coming in through the moon-roof, just pull the sun-shade closed.
