They even did the front window which I didn't know was possible. No seams and very cool . It's the best way to go. It blocks a lot more heat than any othrs. |

My Car: 2005 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | As I posted on this thread last year, I got my Prius tinted and my minivan tinted by a company that comes to you. Very convenient. Mark came to my office and did the work right there. Just call him (602) 230-8468 to schedule an appointment. The price was right. He tinted the Prius for $140 + tax and the front side windows on the minivan for $60 + tax. The windows are still looking great in the 3rd summer since it was done. |

My Car: 2005 Prius Package: Base Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I used Solar Shield Window Tinting (480) 961-4611 (520) 316-0424 7050 West Chandler Blvd. Suite #1 (1 blk East of I-10, NW Corner 56th St/Chandler Blvd) They even did my windshield, it really makes a difference. This film blocks more of the IR infra red heat than any others. It has really worked out well. Big windowns with no seams. It cost more than some but is top notch with the best heat resistance in the business. I paid about $500 for the complete deal. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 | On July 31st I had all my windows done at the Solar Shield place that jstack used. (480) 961-4611 7050 West Chandler Blvd. Suite #1 (1 blk East of I-10, NW Corner 56th St/Chandler Blvd) I got the 35% metal shield/tint. It really does block a lot of the heat. I also like that the windows don't seem as dark (I can see MUCH better out the rear glass) from inside the car, but the glare is much better. No lines or any indication that you have anything on your windows. Your car is still hot when you get in it, but it takes less time to cool down, and it is cooler even with the sun coming in the driver's side window. It was expensive. I had to pay them to remove an after-market tint that the dealership had put on. That cost $150 extra, but if you don't have any tint that has to be removed, it's around $580, with a Lifetime Warranty, to cover all the windows on a Prius. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I got my tint at a place called "A Better Tint" here in Phoenix. Very good, dark tint with good heat rejection. I got they have 2 premium brands... I forget the first brand (which is what I got) for $199, and the 3M stuff for $249. They also have a $20 off coupon on their website (google A Better Tint, it's the first hit) Very satisfied, they were very nice... When I asked about the rear piece that comes tinted from the factory he said they don't generally do that one. I mentioned I wanted it done so it would match the rest and asked how much extra it would cost. He almost said $30 but then said he'd throw it in (YMMV on that one). |
