Can you recommend a good Los Angeles window tinting shop for my brand new Magnetic Gray Toyota Prius?

I'd also like to get an alarm put on her and I know that some places do both. I just want to be sure that both services are top notch. Thanks.Can you recommend a good Los Angeles window tinting shop for my brand new Magnetic Gray Toyota Prius?
You may want to ask a more local Prius owners' group:

It's really more CA-wide than just the Bay Area, though.



Other places where you may get some recommendations:

You really want to go with the factory alarm, rather than some aftermarket thing. Some aftermarket alarms do not play nicely with the Prius' electronics.



All North American NHW20 Prius actually have the alarm (lights blink and horn beeps if a door/hood is opened while armed), just that the alarm is only turned on/accessable in certain option packages (it's a software thing). Some people have been able to get a dealer tech (who would have the necessary Toyota handheld tester needed to change the software parameter) to turn it on for free, or for just the labor charge, when asked nicely... Otherwise, you may have to get the RS3200 VIP "upgrade" which is basically the additional glass breakage sensor (microphone tuned to the sound of breaking glass, sets off the alarm) plus the tester instructions for turning the alarm on. Call around to different dealers and ask for pricing.



While you're calling the dealers for the alarm pricing, also ask them who they recommend for window tinting, and their pricing.Can you recommend a good Los Angeles window tinting shop for my brand new Magnetic Gray Toyota Prius?
