my I suggest " Whittier Tint Shop" in Whittier, on Whittier Blvd. and the 605. They've done all of my cars and have been in business for over 15 years and handle alot of hi-end cars...in other words they know what they're doing. Fast and friendly (my buddy Tony, is the manager)...should be around $180-190, comes with a 3 year warrenty.

There's also A1 Tint in Carson. Good shop. Been around for a while. Make sure you have them put moleskin strips in to prevent scratching the film. Also, ask about using a film that won't cause interruption on your radio antenna.

I also want to get my windows tinted but I thought it was illegal to get the driver and passenger windows tinted in California. What kind of problems can you run into with law enforcement if all windows are tinted on the car?

Just an update. I ended up using houseoftints dot com in Tustin CA. They specialize in competition graphic tint. I went with them because they're been around, plus they are just down the street from me. They use SolarGard film. The metallic film has lifetime guarantee, and it did not interfere with my AM/FM/GPS and smartkey reception.
