Just bought a 2010 IS 250 2 weeks ago. Went to get my car tinted over the weekend and the shop I went to said that because of the speakers on the front door that they would have to take out the door panel to do it properly. Anyone else experience this?
I ended up just getting my back windshield and back doors tinted. If I wanted the front done, they wanted almost double the price.

I paid $256 for Nano Carbon XP 18 film. Which is 16's all around. They normally charge $225 but with the two front component speakers being a pain, they charged me $240 plus tax. This shop was extremely professional. They taped my trim all around the doors and covered my interior door panels. They also removed my rear cabin brake light, instead of cutting around it. They don't need to remove the door panels. I'm very picky with my car, you could end up having parts scratched. Not worth the headache. Just shop around for another shop and ask about the quality of film. Which is what I did.

I got charged $100 for the rear and back windshield. This was at a shop in Queens, NY. They wanted $200 if I wanted the front done.
Now I want to get the front done. Does anyone in the NYC area have a good shop they had their's done at?
