Where to tint windows in toronto?
I want to tint my windows within the next 2 weeks. where is the best place that won't cost me too much to tint all my windows the darkest possible?
on the side, i've seen people have really dark front windows that are as dark as the back windows, i thought the fronts have have a lighter maximum darkness than the backs? is this legal? anyone got pulled? what is the legal limit nowadays?
thank you.

Got mine done at Extreme Auto Tint for super cheap, good quality and great service. PM SiG for info. Also, the legal limit for Toronto is 35% up front, and it can be anything you want in the rear. I'm 35 up front, limo (5%) in rear.

beware, 5 is DARK
I had trouble seeing through my rear windshield, which is 5, at first. now im fine but it does take some getting used to
20 is perfect, and 35 is too light IMO
BTW i pmed ya back

i dont know wut mine is...but for anyone who has ever seen my car u know u damn well cant see through them in daylight unless there is some unusual angle or just through the top where the black part is and not the chrome...as far as my experiences go ive been driving with those windows for almost two years and all it takes is getting used to...just be very cautious always especially at first and later u get immune to the darkness..now when i am in cars with no tint i feel naked to be honest! tint is great...private
and great for protecting ur interior from burnin hot sun! (mine is prolly gonna need to be replaced within the next few years! damn...)

Since they're franchised, you may have been one of the lucky guys who actually dealt with someone who cared about your car. I've seen complaints like bubbling (and refusal to fix it), gaps in 2-piece rear windows, bad quality film, etc etc....
i had the titanium tint on my car and i love it. it is not the darkest tint in the market but when u looked at the car on the side and try to looked at the interior, it had a layer of glare shining at u

How did they fit your tints on too? They put the film on my windows and used an exacto knife and cut the film right on top of my window and now i got long knife scratches on the some of the windows.
Did they tint your entire window that can roll down? my 2 side windows in the front of my coupe are not fully tinted, they left about a 3-4mm gap between the film and the top of the window. if they are rolled up you can't tell but when they are rolled down you can see it.
I'm not satisfied with my tint, frig.
I pmed you back about your concerns yo
Go back and make them fix everything. Everyone who had it done with them was very happy. and we probably sent like 10 guys just for this GB. Just go back and tell them what I said in the pm. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, i expected them to do a better job. ill have a word with Foster.

Oh wait, I have ONE defect on it - I was putting a new set of CDT speakers in the back and when I pulled up on the old JL's I had in there, one of them chipped the tint. It's the size of a grain of rice so I didn't bother taking it in. Maybe next year.
