Tints done at AutoLinks

Just to complete the loop from last Sunday's "Meet"

here are a few pics of my Tints 15% All around!!!
$200 for the Llumar (non-metalic dyed) tint and took about 2hrs to install

Would STRONGLY recommend Autolinks for anyone considering tints.....SATHEES THAT MEANS YOU!

Tints were laser-cut and they removed/reinstall all the necessary parts in order to do a clean install. They did a very diligent job.
I think the pics speak for themselves








DOT MATRIX - looks better and better as it dries

hmm, I think I'm going tint as well. I am worried about having the light interior show through. 15% is pretty dark, no worries about being pulled over? I will PM

^^^ Actually, wherever you go in Richmond Hill and Markham, just mention Benson's name and you should get a discount. This guy is everywhere.

I'm not tooo worried about being pulled over..... the sunroof trick seems to work fine for the time being and the red interior helps too...... worst come to worst i'll just get a receipt to show i removed my Tints and fight the ticket!

If John can live with 20+ front plate tickets i'm sure i can manage a few tint tickets here and there

Do they do ceramic? I'd either do 35% dyed, or consider 20/25% ceramic, but I haven't seen a ceramic job from decent photos.

Wow, you guys are killing me. Cant believe so many of you still driving without tints. Tint is a must and My 1st mod on every s car i've had. Bought my e90 and went for tint 2hours later without even scheduling an appointment.
Vino tints look sick, i wish i could get 15% too but my guy only had 20% and 5%. I went for 20 cause 5% is just too dark for me at night.

I had mine done there last year, he did a good job but my only issue is that 2 days later I had scratches from rolling my window up and down. It needed felt cover to protect the tint.

Thanks, DV, I'll ask them about the Llumar...or maybe just go with the 32-35% dye tint.

Car looks really sharp, BTW!
