Tinting recommendations in the SF Bay Area

Okay i'm ready to have mine tinted.

Can anyone give me recommendations on which store offers the best installation and best deals? I have an 04 SSM/Ebony. Thanks! Tint grade and suggestions also appreciated.

Tintwerks in Pleasanton California. The guy does great work. He does the tint for car commercials. He will help you make a decision on what shade and how dark. I put 35% on the front and 20% on the back.

Try "Bay Car Stereo" in San Francisco on Geary. The tint on my last car looked brand new after 7 years when I sold it.

On my TL I did 35% on front side windows and 5% on all rear windows. Looks great!!

Don't know what brand they used but the the shade is black. Looks kick ass. Their price was $300 but they had a "special" and I was out the door for about $250
