I guess first posting what area you live in would be helpful

I got mine done on 63rd S Cicero. The guy charged me $169 for all the windows and it is guarenteed lifetime. This is my 4th car done buy him and all my friends have gotten theirs done by this guy. He has been in business for over 15 yrs. I don't have the number on me, but when I get home from work I will get all the info.

I know there is a guy in Naperville, his name is Dave Krausse(sp?). He owns a tint shop in the Naperville area. He is also a moderator on the tintdude forums ( http://www.tintdude.com/forum/index.php ) and he has a website for his shop too ( http://www.dgtint.com/ ) He has been in the business for 20 years or so and uses Solar Guard tint. He has done TLs before and knows about felting. (however I suggest you felt your TL yourself because he charges 100 to felt all 4 doors)

No pics yet, I'm waiting to complete the car before posting pics on the site, I promise soon though. I have 25% all way round. To be honest im not sure if he used felt or not. The whole car cost $290. G'luck!

P.S. Points Please!!!!
