Based on my RFD experiences the guys on there care strictly about price...
Very true ... price is important on RFD ...
However, in the Motor Vehicle section, its price and value.
The group buy has gone on for some time and many members have posted feedback, including pictures. Any issues that have come up, at all, the retailer has dealt with them personally (who's also on the site, answering questions and booking appointments).

Check the thread out for yourself ... this is just the most recent version ... again, I think it speaks for itself.

The guys on the site are your local car obsessed junkies ... not computer nerds.

Thanks for all the advice. . .dude, post with a review when it's done. I'm likely going to play it safe and wait for the spring.

Shop we use? Auto Links (in Scarborough)

You won't be disappointed. I don't work for them, nor have I had my car personally tinted by them, but I think the sheer volume speaks for itself.

(From the site) - Group buy NO LONGER applies
Installer:
John @ Auto-links
1066 Birchmount Rd. Scarborough. M1K 1S4
416-751-8883
Website

Group buy price ($20 off regular price): if we have over 20 people
2 Door Cars from $150-20 = $130
4 Door Cars from $170-20 = $150
Vans/SUV from 220-20 = $200
Wagons from $190-20 = $170
Front Doors Only (vehicles with rear windows tinted) from $70-20 = $50
Tint Removal from $80-20 = $60

Your choice.
I'd be down for that, I have a two door grand am gt, but I want some dark

its nice film to work with eh!!! Llumar actually came out with a "cheaper film that cost about 40% less per roll than their original stuff, it works great and still maintains the black colour after time...you should try it out, unless your shop has already tried it!

No just checking out other options, that group buy is done so its back too $200 which still is not bad. I also was hoping to find something between 20 and 32% which is whats offered. Its a white car so I find it looks better with a darker tint.
