Reputable Tint Shop in Toronto?

GTA-335xi · 05-20-2008, 08:50 PM

I'm looking to get my AW 335xi tinted soon so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a shop or heard good things about any specific shops? I'm looking to get 28% charcoal all around.

maybe you should try to use the search....I remember seeing this topic here few months ago

SGxi · 05-20-2008, 10:12 PM

Thornhill tint and FX are two reputable shops folks here have used.

Is your 335xi a coupe or sedan? Keep in mind the dotted area in the rear of the coupe will/may peel...

Yeah I realized I should've STFA, I'm going to try that now. Is anyone interested in a GB?

The old thread seems to have died down.

How much are we talking about for tint? I might get my ride tinted, but I don't want bubbles on my dot matrix.

dot matrix bubbles are hard to avoid...just a matter of how obvious....e90s have better result than e92s.

Hmm.. Well you could always cover it with a ACS roof spoiler right?

ptan55 · 05-22-2008, 12:52 PM

Tint King on Queensway did a great job on a few cars for me.

Mike07335i · 05-22-2008, 02:32 PM

I would be up for a group buy as well...

Anyone tried Superior Window Films at South Service Road in Oakville? They are the only people with Huper Optik films in town but the quote I got is really really high...

GTA-335xi · 05-22-2008, 05:55 PM

well i'm located in thornhill, close to richmond hill, so i've pretty much narrowed it down to fx auto, thornhill tint, or audio heaven.. the same three shops keep coming up in discussions all over e46toronto, torontomazda3, and the acuraTL forums..

so how does a tint gb work? lol i'm quite a n00b..

i would like to get the ceramic tint but SGxi says it's pretty expensive..

I've read getting them to put glue on the dots before tint goes on improves if not fixes the issue.

I had my e90 tinted a few weeks ago at FX Auto with 35% formula one pinnacle which is a ceramic tint. I can't remember the exact price, but I think it was under $350 incl. taxes.

They did a great job, my passenger window looked a bit odd for a day or so (not bubbles, but some hazy patches), but it dried up fine and looks superb now.
