    Hello,

    My wife and I just bought a pair 2012 Level III's. So far we love them. This board has been a great source of information. I got a Nautical Blue and the wife a Silver one. So far, I have just added window tinting to mine...

    Thanks. One of the first things I did was sign up for the Toyota Owners site and go through the PDF manuals.

    If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for the tints? That is what I want to get next and was just curious on prices...

    The guy I use down here in FL charges around $150. I think that is the average price. I certainly wouldn't pay more than $200.

    But shop around. You may be able to find it even cheaper than 150.

    That's more of what I thought. When I picked my Prius up from the dealer on Monday they said they could do it at their service center for $450. :eek:

    The tint is normally $150, but I paid $100 because I didn't want the rear window done. The installer did an excellent job.

    I would ask around. Strangely enough, my dealer does it through a third party and that guy did mine, full sides and back for $199 total. The guy was pretty meticulous as well, took I think 2 and a half hours and custom cut everything. He was using also Sungard Tint, which should be an okay tint film.
