Auto Trim Design 206-306-8746 on Aurora Ave North, Seattle does a good job. They did my wife's new beetle rear window in one piece as other VW owners said it had to be done as multiple parts. Although they seem to only carry one brand of tint, in both metallic and nonmetallic.

I have worked for a guy who has tinted for over twenty years. He recently closed his actual business location, but he still does jobs if you call him up. Very good. Did four of my family's car, our home and our business. HIGHLY recommended. PM me if you want his number.

Exclamation Jay's Tint Shop in Kirkland

Normally $275-$295 for a GS...but as he is a really down to earth guy and is willing to work with 'our club' (he said like $250 + tax for as low as 15% tint). His phone # is (425)825-5560.

Jay (the owner) does the work himself or with an assistant, they don't sublet their work out. If you want to go through him and get the deal you can let him know "Eli with the black GS 300 sent you" and he will remember.

He has done my GS and the work was exellent. I will be taking my other vehicles to him as well...

Default Just a heads up!

The rear defrosters on the Lexus vehicles are HUGE therefore the darker you go the harder it is for them to have no 'air'. You may want to ask if they have done any or do many Lexus vehicles. It cost's a lot more to RE-tint something. Best of luck man!
