I don't know if your actually in Chicago or just the burbs but the place in Naperville, used to be a Ziebarts, I beleive it is now like Ztech or something. They do an awesome job and will do all the windows with fronts for $250 with lifetime warranty and all the normal jazz, seen the work in person and it is flawless.

on Western and Montrose on the North Side.
I got 20% all around 5 windows for $220
I have taken 10 cars there now and they are the best, no bubbles, never had tints come off, no problems. They also gave me a discount for showing up with a friend.

Gregski...you will hook him up meaning, you do it yourself or you got a guy/place that can do it?

I think tints is a great idea for any Chicagoan...especially if you getting some back seat action .

The tints are laser cut and the guy that I know will be doing them using professional tools.
Hehe with my previous car I used wal-mart tints and what a PITA. Never AGAIN!!!
I think our rear window is bigger than the tint from wal-mart anyway.

Oh, the guy I mentioned just finished doing my friends tints and seriously they look like factory ones. No sharp edges of the tint sticking out or anything so when the cop stops you, you can argue.

I will post the pics of the 35% tints on my friend's integra. The guy that is doing the tints for $150 (all the windows + 1 year warranty) did his front ones. All you got to do is give a deposit and then go to his place in Glendale Heights wait some and there ya go.

I will post pics tomorrow.

how many people on here have 35% tint all the way around???? also do you find that cops are hassling you just because of the window tints? i want to get tints all the way around but living in schaumburg that is definitely an issue. i was just wondering if 35% is light enough. my friend and my roommate both got ticktes for tints on the front.
