Default good window tinting shop in vancouver?

anyone can tell me where to get really good window tinted. I don't like dark color, so I hope to go as clear as possible but still can block the sunlight/heat very well. My friend told me V-Kool is one of the best brands. I don't know who carry those product here though.


thank you so much!

SmartFilms.ca used to do huper optik tint but they don't do automotive tint anymore... just did a quick google on "ceramic tint, vancouver" and found this place: www.tintcentre.ca

we had the huper optik put on our G35 and u can feel a significant difference... do watch out for bubbles tho because i think the ceramic tint doesn't allow moisture to escape as easily as standard tint...

hmm i kinda want 70% for the driver and front passenger too
something that is light but still blocks UVB and most of the heat
i think my rears right now are 40% or something
cant see in during the night but can see in during the day some what
i want the front and rear to look a little different so when the cops see it, they will think my fronts are stock...

how much do u think it is for the 2 fronts

i forget what we have in the front on our G35... i think it was 50%... it's borderline, during the day it's definitely brighter than the 35% in the back but in cloudy weather u can definitely tell there's sth there... just a question whether a cop feels like he wants to hassle you for anything else...

well i used to have like 35%~40% in the front too (same as rear)
but got pulled over by RCMP in coquitlam, got a warning to take it off within 7 days and show it to an RCMP officer to get it off the records

i had to do it
but now that summer is here, i kinda miss my tint and i want to have light enough of tint in the front so that cops wont bother me but still blocks UVB
