I recently used Tint Guy in Lawrence. They're reputable as well.

Whevere you go, make sure to ask them about moleskin installation to prevent scratches, and tell them in advance to do the rear quarter windows correctly

Tint King has the best reputation out of anyone I've ever heard of.

I'm going to check out both places and I'm kinda leaning towards solar solutions due to the fact they have 25% which would be perfect, I've had 20% and 35% on two previous vehicles and I think that would be a happy medium. Thank you all for your help! I still do not know about this mysterious rear quarter window and the problems of tinting it but I hope the place doing the tint does!! Haha

Tint king.

Check my post in your other thread as well, if I had known better I'd have gone with tint king instead of solar solutions.

Brian at Tint King is awesome. It doesn't cost "only $150"... because it's not a $150 job!

Just got my car done Friday. Moleskin installed. Rear quarter windows, rear glass, it was all done perfectly. Not a single bubble anywhere.

This is Huber Optik Ceramic ~30%.
Pics are in overcast conditions, and it looks really dark when it's not a straight-on angle.
I LOVE my tint.

This if my memory serves me right is 35% SunTek Carbon, installed I think I paid just shy of 300, but that was back in 08, I'm not sure how it's priced now.
