Would you not want to try it your self? I just did mine in 5%, it was eaaassyy.
Got my tint from northerntint.com.

It comes pre-cut for your car for a great price. My 4 side windows and a visor strip came out to around 50$ and thats for the nicest film they got. Life time warranty, no fading, true black..etc fast shipping also. If you mess up, you can reorder individual windows for like 20$ shipped. It's hard to mess up though since it's precut and fits the window perfectly. They have a lot of shades too. Getting it doen will be over 250$ at a shop

I saw Andrew's car (F0RSAKEN) and it looked good. I also go to The Darkside on Lake City Way. He cuts it super close, just like Andrew's, has good quality tint, and pretty good prices. Search tint in the local forum as there are some places down South that are ridiculously cheap.

I've never done tint by myself and have never wanted to as I would likely fugg it up. I can't stand air bubbles to the **** nth degree, so I probably wouldn't be happy.

The lady that does my cars (did my MS3 too) does superb work, and she's been doing it for 20 years out of the same shop. Cost me 330 for the whole car plus wind shield strip.

Check this site out! They have a couple tint shops on there that have $50 worth of credit for only $5! I have bought from this site before (flying saucer pizza for cheap eats, and liquid lime for cheap booze!) and it worked great!

The only thing to research is will they let you use multiple $50 credit during one purchase. I know that flying saucer pizza and liquid lime did, but I could see these shops only allowing 1 during a purchase (which wouldn't be so hawt). Anyway, good luck!

***edit*** dammit, they only allow one certificate per visit. Not so hawt.
