Formula 1 tint in the GTA
So my brother is looking to have his GTi tinted with Formula 1, anyone know of a shop in the GTA that deals with the brand? Thanks

My moms 530i, my old A4, friends Mazda3 and his A3 all got F1 Pinnacle Ceramic @ FX auto.
I went with Huper Optiks from Krown Lakeshore

Huper is really nice tint... I wanted to get those, but ended up cheaping out, but Richard @ Thornhill Tints knows his BMWs, so he does great work if you have a BMW.
He pulled the door panels, but no rattles at all.

it's hard to describe the "sheen" effect the tint has..
here's a picture of the tint, the day after installation..was gonna get darker after it dried.. I prefer the huper just because of this look, and the fact that I don't have to go darker for more heat resistance.. I have 30% btw.. edit: added my old cars tint for comparison..this is 30% Front 20% rear F1 pinnacle

if you look at the 2 pictures - the first one is glossy, and in person when you look at it there's this squaring effect on certain angles, couldn't capture it in picture though..where as on my old car, you can see that it's more dull and flat

I guess you can say it has a more "mirror" finish on the tint? It kind of looks nicer as it seems to be much more reflective.

On the other hand, if your car is dirty... I don't think it will make much difference
My car is generally dirty now, so with the tint being like that, it will make the car look even dirtier!
