Might want to hold out and keep a watch...not sure if you heard yet but Audio Heaven is now a sponsor of TM3. Got my tints there three years ago and they did a good job, check out the sponsor section.

Audio Heaven does an amazing job. Jeff will hook you up.

Car Decor does great work as well. Chris or Tim will hook you up there. 905-820-1987

I can vouch for both locations as I've had tint done at both places for a couple of my previous rides.

Don't just look for a cheap price. Look for the actual specs of the tint too.
Lumar is in now way as nice as Solar Gard. Lumar always seemed a bit "green" to me. And no I did not have a GM which was greenish already stock. ;)

The Solar Gard HP is a great quality tint with longevity in mind, and price. But when you order charcoal tint, you get charcoal. Not some shade of blue, green etc.

Look up some comparisons, you'll see what I mean.

Noble Tinting is probably the cheapest and good qual.

160 for sedans 180 for hatches.

they have done a few members and no complaints so far.

They use Solar Gard also which is a nice bonus. My g/f's 3 is booekd in for next week, like it was said. 5-7 days wait because the dealerships are selling like crazy. Pays to have a shop right in the auto mall I guess lol.

Had my hatch done there in April a couple days after driving my 3 off the lot :chuckle Paid $180 cash taxes in. 20+ years experience, lifetime warranty - that's all that I needed to hear.

That's like exactly where I bought me car. This place probably does it for some of the dealerships around the area for $120 and then the dealers charge the customers $400 for the tint thinking it's a better quality.

burlington mazda told me $500 for tint. and they'd have to take my car for a few days, cuz it has to be shipped out or watever to get done.

i walked out, drove down the road to 'sound image', they quoted $180 IIRC.
i might go get it done soon.... i dunno. i need cash first....lol

Audio Heaven uses Solarguard and their prices are great. Their installers are the same guys that install tint on MoT's cars. And Jeff is a great guy too. Check out their sponsor forum. I ran a GB back a month ago and I heard no complaints about the tint.

I still vote for Noble tinting, I haven't seen anyone beat their price of 160$ for sedans/180 for hatches. and they use the same materials as everyone else, and the quality is just as good or better.

it's worth the drive to the erin mills auto mall (ps, they do tinting for the dealerships in the automall too, thats how pro they are)

18-20 years or something like that. That's what Andrew told me when I had my tint done.

If you are north of Toronto, try Noble detailing in Newmarket, did mine 2 years ago no problems and the price was right...

i do believe fading is covered...

i can check next week..im going to get my gf's mazda 3 tinted as well..ill be sure to ask..

besides fading what else would lifetime cover? hmmm... gets me thinking about the pros of this so-called lifetime warranty.
