I can imagine that the law will come down hard on you.
Tread carefully there...

It's a pain in the ___ for my drivers side windows. I took it once already and they redid it because of little bubbles, now I have to take it again because of another small bubble on the back quarter and big one on the drivers side.
But it costed me $200+ so I'm not stopping until it's absolutely perfect.

Yeah if you're going to pay that much for tint, they better do it right.
I have:
Windshield = V-Kool 70
Everywhere Else = Huper Optik Ceramic 30
Cost: $438
It cost a lot, but they are really good tint. I park my car in the hot Hawaiian sun, and it takes less than 3 minutes to cool down with my AC. Unfortunately for me, the passenger side tint has 3 major scratches, prolly on the film before installation since you can't feel the scratch. I'm having them redo it on Thursday... hey if I paid that much, it better work.
I went with legal tint, and I gotta say... its really not dark enough. When you look at it, you think its not even tinted, but then if you see a car that's not tinted, then you say, "Oh, it is tinted"... but yeah, not dark enough for my liking. I got it legal because in Hawaii I heard its $280 per window. OUCH.

Well good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good! That is very true about window tinting. Its about good technique so make sure the installers at the shop of your choice have skill and years behind them.
I highly recommend 3M window films being that they have a lifetime warranty against any defects of any kind including changing color. Any peeling, fading, purple windows, hazing will be covered. Now the film is made in California and we know how hot it can get and the amount of sun Cali gets throughout the year. So for other films which are made in the Eastern United States or German made (Huper Optik) these films are not ( and I have tried personally) not up to par with 3M in my opinion being 3M invented window films and have exclusive technology for testing and in their films. I do understand most films have a lifetime warranty but make sure if you go with another film besides 3M, GET THAT WARRANTY!!
If any of you guys have questions for window tint just ask, I'll be more than happy to help.
