i've searched other local forums and mothers seems to be pretty good, but i think it depends on the location you go to. But I got quoted a good price from North Park Lexus. $229 for my IS250.

I did my last car at North Park Toyota. They did a decent job, just a few small bubbles nothing big. The problem is they would not go dark enough for my taste. I would like something close to 15% or so, but I think the lowest they would go is like 30%. I think I will try the Mother's her on 281.

Mother's quoted me $125 but they will only do 35% on the side windows. Does anyone know someone in SA that will do darker?

Default window tint

I found a guy that works from his house and will do pretty much any tint you want. I don't know if he has any ceramic but I bet he could get some. He even sad you can watch him do it if you want and if you don't like how he's doing it he'll stop, take it off and you can go your separate ways. I let you know how mine looks when he's done. If you want his info let me know.

We need some hot sunny weather first so he can take off my existing tint. I don't know if there's enough time between these storms but I want to do it ASAP.
