    Looking to get windows tinted on my commuter car. Im on a tight budget and thought about doing it myself but I don't have the time. Anyone know of a good shop or a friend that could use some business? I just want a decent film to help with the upcoming summer heat.

    Thanks!

    Ive got a ceramic tint on the truck, with high heat rejection, and it is amazing. The car is a salvage and it's just for the next 2 years of school.

    Went with Suntek. Went one lower then their top tier one. the specs weren't that much off. I got it for $380 (cash ;)) it was that price because I tinted my whole windshield as well at 70%
