Suggest a tint shop around Ottawa
I'd like to get the car windows tinted (30-35%) both sides (front and back), back window and sunroof. Anybody suggest a good shop in the Ottawa area?
Thanks, Bill |

Did you get ceramic and if so, how much was it?

Yep. Pinnacle F1 ceramic (Llumar brand). In Toronto, the price is about $320 + HST. I got 15% all around. 35% is way too light in the summer time (I had this on my E60 535 before and hated it during the summer time). 15% is not dark at all at night time. Actually just right. Here is mine. It seems to look dark but it's not.

Thanks Bobblehead. I'll look for Pinnacle F1 ceramic. The 15% doesn't look bad either. BTW Did you do your sunroof?
Thanks

The other well known brand is Huper Optik but it's much more expensive and a bit more thicker thus the installer must spend a bit more care in putting it on. In Toronto, one shop wants $500 for H.O.

Yep. 15% ceramic as well. I asked for 5% but the installer forgot all about it and put 15% and he was willing to correct his error but I just told him to forget it. The sunroof job cost $20 more.

It has been just fine. Can't complain. Just put the summer setup back on and it sure feels nice getting back to 19s.

Extreme Auto Care or Autotrendz Autocare
So it looks like I've decided that I would prefer to get the FormulaOne Pinnacle from Llumar. On the Llumac site it points to two local dealers: Extreme Auto Care in Orleans and Autotrendz Autocare in Stittsville. Does anyone have any experience with either of these folks?

I ended up going to Shades One on Colonnade Rd. I put 20% HP Smoke Solar Gard on both front and back side windows, rear window and sunroof. The guy who runs the shop is very picky and did a great job. I'd recommend him in a heart beat. No bubbles and its to the glass edge.
