Call your local dealership and ask where do they send the vehicles for tint.

I would contact their distributor and see who buys the stuff from them. Then you will know who has some.

thanks man. i tried that tint center a while back and then they never got back to me. i emailed a few shop from the llumar site again i'll see how it goes.

got another question though, has anyone seen a tinted rx300? i'm thinking about tinting the front windows so they are the same shade of green bronze and then putting regular tints over that so that it's darker because the back windows are basically transparent when the sun isn't out

I tinted the RX about a year ago. I put 75% rears and 50% in front 2 windows. From 3M Metal smoke is the color.

I only have tints on the rear windows. Maybe I've seen you around, My RX is black but doesn't have any customizations all stock. It will have customizations once i own it next year right now its my brothers ride. But soon enough. Cant wait.
