I am thinking about having the front side windows on my IS200 Sport tinted to match the rears, like vic. However, having read the post about removing door cards, I am having second thoughts coz I dont want some grease monkey ripping off the wiring for the leccy windows or damaging any clips.
Does anyone know a decent window tinting company around the Midlands or Yorkshire, that have a good reputation?
OR
Can the windows be tinted without removing the glass?

Windows can be tinted without removing the glass, but it always turns out looking cheap.
If you take it to a specilist, any damage they will have to fix. Try Ripspeed at Halfords there is got to be one near you. They sometime offer window tinting or at least tell you of someone.
Also ask your dealer, more and more of them are offering this service. (Also try Subaru they normally have someone who does it).
Ask around try [url="http://www.yell.co.uk"]http://www.yell.co.uk[/url] you might find someone.
Good hunting!

Andy,
Please let me know how you get on with the window tinting as coming from an Se to the Sport I think the tinted rear windows look the business. Would also like the front done so pass on any info you have.
Cheers,
Mark.

You do realise that all this accessorising will stop when the babies arrive and we're up to our eyes in prams and high chairs.
Found any Leather/Alcantara baby seats yet for the Lexus !!!
Joking apart I found a company that do a baby seat in black leather, wouldn't like the baby to slum it now would we !!!

Stitcher,
Your motor looks neat in your photo - you got any more to look at in the gallery or elsewhere?

Had a peek - looks nice, skirted. Looked at that colour myself, but fell in love with the shiny green............
Do you close the gates yourself, or do you get the butler to do it for you?

Andyhart21,
I tinted Both front and side windows myself, it's an ok job. Just have to do my rear window now. Can't find any tint big enough. Might get it done at a shop. They're charging £100 for it. Taking the door cards off are not to hard of a job. If you come on sunday you can see for yourself.
