Help! Window Tint

aintgivingnoname · 03-08-2009, 02:15 PM

Does anyone know any good place to get the windows tinted in Montreal? Canbec asks 450$ for it which sounds like a rape compared to Lebeau's 225$...although i really don't trust the latter! Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. What % did you guys get for the front and back windows?
Thx

50% sides 35% back and rear sides.

Average price shoudl be $220-$250 for a good job...

Can't help with any local shops though sorry.

I got the sunshade screens, which can be taken out during winter. They look just like tinted windows - side rear and rear window.

Does anyone know if our door panels need to be removed for tints?

I know that it varies by car - and I'm a bit worried about rattles and other issues if they need to start disassembling things.

Dumb question, but how is it to have a tint removed once it's applied? Any idea how much it costs?

BMW Laval is $395+tax. I told them F off. My friend knows a guy who did his 535 for a hundred bucks or so, 30 50 70 or something like that. But I want someone to use the best materials and do a good job with mine, so I'd have to go to a reputable place. If you find someone please PM me!

On a separate note, where in the west island do you live? What colour is your 135, I wonder if I've seen it

BMW did mine free of cost but they did a big F up leaving a Packing block in and paint was damaged on delivery.
Apparently it cost them $500 ...yeah right!

I know on my dad's 3 series the door panels need to be remove.
Not sure if they were on my car?

I got mine done 25% in the back 3 and 15% in the front.....I guess depends on how dark you wanna go. My back 3 are dark and you can't see in at night but the front 2 you can tell there tinted and it keeps the car cooler when in the sun but not to dark. hope that helps
