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

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!!!!
