Hi Everyone - I'm new here, just picked up my 2008 G37s last week. I'm looking for a good place to get my tint done in the GTA, any suggestions at a reasonable price?

Would highly recommend Audio Heaven in Richmond Hill. Make sure you get the premium ones, called NR Charcoal by Solargard. Costs $220 plus tax including install and looks great.
What did you get? Sedan? Coupe? Color? Transmission?
Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.

This is where I got mine done. They tint all willowdale infiniti cars.

Autolinks in Scarborough does great work. They're great to deal with, the owner is amazing and does a lot of the work himself!

Ok great, thanks for the suggestions! The car is 2008, PG on stone interior, G37s coupe, auto with nav. Love the car so far! A few minor problems, but could have just been sitting on the lot where I got it for a while. Need to take it to an Infiniti dealership to get tuned up. I live at Lakeshore/ Parklawn area, suggestions on nearby good dealerships?

I heard good things about autolinks too. I heard that the owner used to work for Audio Heaven but decided to open his own shop now. I could be wrong but either way I also heard good stuff about them. I personally never been there thou.

I just done my brand new G37x in Auto Links last month, 30% front and 15% back Pinnacle, with red flag deal discount $25 off. Highly recommend!

Stay away from Tint Guys in Toronto. They were recommended on here by some member and I fell for it...

You and I have the exact same color combo my friend .... I tried here and there and finally loved the 23% NR Charcoal for the light interior ... The fun thing about having light interior is that there's more light inside and hence you can easily get away with darker tints ... The color tint of the NR Charcoal (a bit greyish ... or more stock(ish) as they say) goes superbly well with the PG and 23% should give you enough privacy .... Highly recommend this. Here's a side shot of my car with tints

And for the dealerships around town .. i won't trust anyone but Alta .... i live quite far away from it too but its soooo well worth the drive ... Talk to Robert at service there .... super nice guy to deal with and he will fix you up all nice !! He seemed like the only one who acknowledged my issue (seat stitching coming apart at the back release?? button) and didnt give me a run around saying its "wear and tear" .... i have a brand new seat cover now and its all fixed to my satisfaction which is what i would expect from a luxury car brand !!

Awesome, thanks the advice about the specific tint for our PG colours, it looks great on your car! I will also check out Alta, I always feel more comfortable having a solid referral like this to a specific person.

Second question, where's a good spot to get the iPod adapter? The dealership?

thanks again!

^^^ i see that you have a Nav/Tech package so all you need is the cable... Costs like $60 at dealership but often you find someone selling used for like $25-30. So it's upto you if you want it right away then the dealership is the way to go. Note that most parts dept at dealerships give 15% discount on top of retail price. If one doesn't, go to another one. I used to get 15% discount for parts at Woodchester but since the time they separated Nissan and Infiniti parts store I haven't given it a try. Never tried Alta for parts.
The iPod cable from dealership will give you "irritating" access (I say that cause like any other adapter your controls from iPhone gets locked and your controls on the car like scrolling down the list get locked when you are rolling unless you have the override mod) ... But one thing which disappoints everyone is that it won't charge your phone. You will need to buy an adapter like the CableJive ($30) if you need to charge your phone as well. Don't buy the "easily" available Scosche one at Source cause that thing is made out of crap and keeps coming off all the time.

Ok great, thanks for the update on this. I might try Alta and see what they have if I can't find one used on here. I won't often be plugging my iPhone into it, I have a first gen video iPod I keep all my music on and will just let it sit plugged in all the time for the car, so not too worried about charging.

thanks again!
