And regarding to location....how about La Paloma (a gelato place) at Weston/Hwy 7. They have a decent size parking lot there. Or else, Dave and Buster parking lot is good as well.

 

I'm thinking maybe we can meet at a parking lot of a big shopping plaza. On Saturday or Sunday, those parking lots will be vacant by 6:30pm. In my mind I can think of the Brick/Sears plaze at Yonge and Hwy7. They have a pretty big parking lot and the outer rims of the parking lot is alway empty. And best of all, it's closed to the majority of us.

 

Thornhill Tints and a second place dowtown (that i dont remember the name) were highly recommanded to me. both places are execptionally experienced and take in about 90% dealership work. the downtown one actually does BMW & MB dealerships. I haven't decided where to go yet, and price quoted was about $240-$280 from both places. life time guarantee and high quality tints...however i forget the actual material of the tints...i'll find that out shortly

 

One option is BMW...

Most BMW dealerships offer Formula One Pinnacle series tinting. It's $500 and they do it at the dealer, you get lifetime warranty etc.....

A little pricey....I don't know if "you get what you pay for" applies here?

I've got my tint done by BMW when I ordered my car. I paid $499 + tax for that but I have no idea what I'm getting.

 

has anyone been pulled over for tints yet? i would go 35%, but i just dont want to get pulled over, so maybe 20%...

anddddddddddd HOW MANY OF US IS UP FOR MID-MAY? actually yesterday was such a nice day....i wish i had ur numbers...i would of called u guys all up for a little meet

 

Nope, I had dark tints on my previous g35c, c-class, slk, m3... and I have never been pulled over becuz of tints.

 

+1 I have dark tints on all my previous cars and never got pull over. (touch wood )

However, I got pulled over last light for my dark tint licence plate cover. The officer told me to take it off and will give me a ticket next time he sees me with that on again. But I still have it on my car now.

 

Actually...it's the other way around....20% is a darker tint than 35%. The lower the number, the darker the tint. The % coresponds to the amount of light it lets in. In Canada the legal maximum tint is 35% but you can get away with 30% without any problems (in the front windows). The rear windows can be as dark as you want.

The interior color of your car will make a difference as well. A dark interior with a 35% tint looks relatively dark where a tan interior might need 30% to achieve the same effect. All the tints achieve the same heat reduction/uv reduction etc...so tint percentage is really only cosmetic.

 

thanks nwilliams! now i feel like a fool...but Bambi, don't they sell dark tinted license plate covers every where (ie wal-mat, canadian tires)? i thought those things were legal
