I went there for four diff cars and very satisfied with the result
Thanks. I see $119 for 2 windows.

Is the solar guard good enough? Or should I get ceramic for $160.

ceramic tint has better clarity, esp. winter months.

The 23% charcoal tint at audio heaven will be a near perfect colour match with ur factory tints.

I thought I'd chime in because I've been to both Auto-Links and FX.

Auto FX
- Tint done on a Lexus ES. Formula 1 product was good. There was bubbling around the dot matrices around the rear windshield. And it was never flush with the defrosting lines either. Was told it was the nature of the beast but I wasn't too thrilled about how it turned out. Wouldn't be a concern if all you're doing is the front two windows

Auto-Links
- Job well done on a Mazda 5. Ceramic tint. Also had some speakers installed at the time too. I don't know where the negativity comes from as John seemed to genuinely care. He actually talked me out of spending more money on stuff I asked about.

I'd recommend both shops for your purposes. But whatever you do, don't get a tint darker than the factory windows in the rear. That might turn out to look not so great. Some cops on a bad day might give you a hard time about that too.

Does this include the back window as well? The 2 window one. Looking to just get the rear and back windows done.

No. The back windows all come factory tinted.

We only need the driver, passenger, and the two small triangles done.

You may want to consider doing all the windows as I don't believe that the rear windows offer any UV protection, and are tinted for the dark appearance only. If you have children in the back, you might want to add some level of UV protection for them.

Hmm.. Good idea. Need to look up if they offer any UV protection for the back windows.

PINNACLE SERIES PREMIUM CERAMIC FILM (available 5/15/30/40/50%)

Does Auto-links offer tint % between 15 and 30? ie. 25%

I had experience with Pure Auto and Auto-Links.

Pure Auto puts the tint on very quick, but I did experience issue with a tear when inspecting right after keys were handed back to me. They fixed it right up though.

Auto-Links comparatively takes their time putting the tint on, but I also had to go back again due to some large dust and leftover residue in the rear windshield. They fixed both issues.
