| Wanting to Tint Windows
So I'm wanting to tint the windows in my car but I'm not sure where to look for quality tint. Don't want anything crappy from canadian tire and checked Lordco in richmond to find nothing. Anyone here tint windows for themselves and if yes, where did you get your tint?

any places that will actually sell the tint to you? I tried a place near 5 and Steveston but they don't sell tint separately. I'm able to put window tint on, I just need some of it and i'll be set. =D

It was $275 for the Madico tint and he did an amazing job on the the dot matrix which I heard is a bitch to do on the BMWs.

well i checked out craigslist and came across this ad,
has anyone dealt with these guys? They are in Richmond http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pts/1224126483.html
basically they have 50%, 35% and 5% tint, 50cm by 210cm
1 roll is 15
2 rolls is 25
3 rolls are 30 and 10 dollars for every additional roll,
I'm going to check them out today, I'll report back my findings

I'd ask what brand that stuff is.. make sure it's not the cheap crap that will turn purple in a couple of years like the Canadian Tire or Walmart junk 
I don't agree with this statement though: Quote: |

Is it true that I should be looking for a thicker tint? The film at Canadian Tire seems very thin compared to the tint I saw when my dad was getting his 4x4 tinted professionally.

don't get cheap tint..over time it will turn purple or go clear.
I'm using Sun-Guard shadow film...it has lifetime warranty on it as well.
A lot of places in Metro Van. carry it.

^did u install it yourself?
I really need my rear windows tinted cos theres no privacy into my trunk at all, but i'm not sure who does good installation for a good price, or what price is considered reasonable.

N motion will do a good job, they get it into the rubber sidings (and hard to do trunk angles), plus its relatively fast.
