NEWB ASKING FOR HELP! - Toyota Yaris Forums

frannis · 10-28-2010, 08:19 PM

Hey,

I'm a new addition to the Yaris family. Bought a used 09 4-door from Servco and am loving it. Although I may not be a HUGE enthusiast as most people are, I figure since we're all Yaris owners..it's safe to ask questions here.

First of all..I have manual windows & locks. I am wondering if it's worth it to put an alarm system and if so, what would be the best @ a reasonable price. I asked Servco what their price was and said it'd be better to go aftermarket, any thoughts?

Secondly, where's the best place to get tint? T&T tinting the best? Or can I get the same professional results @ a cheaper price somewhere else?

Thanks for your time..great to be part of the community!

@chex are you satisfied with the work tintzone produced? i just checked their website, alarm + tint for $250. sounds too good to be true..do you know anything about that? must be a cheap or basic alarm if that's the case.
