I'm picking my RX8 this weekend, and I'm thinking of tinting my car next week. Can anyone recommend a place in TO for good tint jobs? What is a good tint for the sunlight silver? What did you guys get?

 

You better do it soon. Once the weather get cold the film don't stick that well to the windown.

I did mine @ hi-tec auto in Richmond Hill for $170.

 

Atf, what is the address & phone # for hi-tec auto in Richmond Hill? Do you have a contact there? I like to do my Red GT too. I hope it is not too cold to do it this weekend!

 

My friend told me that he goes to this place called FXAuto near McCowan and Hwy 7. They did a very nice job on his car, and they use quality tint films. I think I may go to them for the rx8. If you are interested, talk to Wayne. He is the owner, so you will be able to bargain the price down. I think they charge like $250 for tints, depending on the kind of film you pick.

Red338... hi-tec located @ West Beaver Creek rd & Hwy 7.
I don't have any contact there. Just that my brother's MP3 and my 8 got our car tinted from there.
Did a pretty good job.

 

Just a thought if you have seen a bleed tint.. They have an array of colors to match... ours is blue of course.


You can see that it blends upward to the dark tint. Same with the back window.

 

Thx Atf for the info. Its snowing outside. Looks like tinting is a job for next spring.

 

[B]I also have the sunlight silver and believe me, everyone love my windows, half miror and the rest black as usual...How can I attached a picture of it with my message (Like you guy's are doing) ? I love to show it to AVONORD.....

I got my Mazda3 done at FX Auto also. The owner Wayne is great and there are a lot of good reviews about FX Auto on on the TorontoMazda3.com forums.

 

go to FX, My Friend knows Wayne, he's a good guy. I had my alarm installed there on my 2000 celica. They also warranty all their tint jobs, if there are any problems down the road, they just redo the job completely.

 

Buddman, the picture you attached is really small. Any way you can provide a better/bigger picture?

 

undefinedThank you very much for the direction AVONORD, it's appreciated very much, hope this will work ...? Enjoy :D
Well, my picture is too large ??? What ever that mean ? I have 715 and they only allowed 200md ....????

 

Daniel, you'll have to make your picture smaller before posting it. Can't help you there, cuz I don't know what program you are using.

 

This is the best picture of my RX8, hope you will enjoy it ?

 

If you want people to see the full-size version, upload it to www.imageark.net and then post the first link that they give you here. The first link will look like this:

Here's mine

 

Does anyone know of any good places in the Mississauga area?

 

Eh I dont like mirror tints. I think they are ugly.

 

Here is mine

 

undefinedWELL MOST PEOPLE LIKE IT, EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO HIS OPION, THANK"S FOR SHARING OURS...

 

Has anyone used the FXauto out in Oshawa that would care to comment on the service there?

 

Choose a tint that will give good UV protection. This will protect the interior as well as you from getting them driver side sun burns. I personally like the simple black (they call it charcoal) ones. The car stand out on it's own, so I don't see a need to pop the windows too, but that's just my opinion. Ask the places you want to check out what tints they use and Google the UV rating and SRP (suggested Retail Prices), then you'll know what's what. Oh, don't forget to follow the laws from where ever you are. It's one thing to be pulled over for speeding, but for a tint job--that's just lame.
