    I have bought this iQ and two Yaris from the local dealer and all came straight off with very nice tint. Perhaps they consider it a necessity down here in Texas (and they may be right). In any case, the look is super (nevermind the practicalities)!!!!!

    I bought one in ATL and it appears that the Southeast toyota distribution center are putting tint on all of the IQ's, or atleast on the ones that were on the lot when I purchased mine.

    That was at the Wek-Fest car show in San Francisco over the weekend. The iQ was on display in the AirRunner booth along with the Cube and a Prius.

    i did figure that out after seeing the video you were kind enough to post.reminds me when i first got my cube in 09,first one in bc,and im told by my salseman for the iq,i was first in canada,not sure how he would get or even be bothered to find outt but thats what i was told,anyway had the cube for 3 or 4 days and went to a local car show here in chilliwack,as a spectator.at one end of the show the cars were fairly sparce so me and my boy kinda shifted a gate a WEE bit and snuggled THE CUBE between a new in 09,ferrari as well as a brand new porsche,sorry dont know the models,98% of the humans were taken back be the cube,no mods,not even rims,just the nice stock tint,or maybe they were smoked glass windows.it was very amusing,if i knew the show was on that weekend i may have registered and won a button.i guess everyone had seen and knew what a ferrari and a porshe are,but WHAT THE #%$^ IS THAT.a cube.

    It is cool the way new vehicles, even if not expensive, garner a lot of attention. I watched the spectators coming by and looking at the iQ, lots of smiles and uttering of the phrase "isn't that cute". LOL

    The film is laid out on the outside, trimmed and heated. The air bubbles are removed and when it's perfect the film is removed, the backing stripped and it's applied to the inside of the window. Then the air bubbles are removed again and it's done.

    The police are pretty strict on enforcing the tint laws here. 35% is the darkest on the front windows and 20% on the back. I snuck by with 15% on the back and 30% on the front on my one car and have not had a problem. I just don't think I would go too much darker. When I first moved to Houston, there were no rules about tint. I had 5% installed all the way around on my RX-7. It was very good looking but a bit of a challenge driving at night.

    I am getting the tint and clear bra done on Monday.

    ack! I'm so jealous. Your iQs are looking more appealing that it already is. I want to do everything you guys are doing.
