Default Diamond Tinting off miramar ~240 all around lifetime blah blah, llumnar tint good stuff.

or if you have money pouring out of your ***, then Alvin O's. Best tint shop but 400-500 minimum. They pull panels off the cars to tint all the way below the visible line. Very thorough and you pay for it =P

Default I wouldn't recommend Diamond Tinting...

I've had them tint 4 cars and the last two times they were sloppy.

Last year they re-tinted my M3 and cut the interior door while removing the old tint. I was not happy. Not learning, 3 months ago I brought my Mazda to them and they sliced the weather stripping on the rear driver door when cutting the tint.

I called up a friend at La Jolla Audio and asked for a recommendation. I ended up using Solar Care to put tint on my Audi a few months ago for $275. A coworker also used them after seeing my car and was happy with the results.

Default best place I've found is steve's tint in Claremont. He has a computer cut out the tint...

and he puts it on with out taking any panels off. He uses formula one tint. Guaranteed for life. New tint "ceramic" came out last week. It's supposed to not interfere with radio/GPS. I have ultimate series which is metalized and have had no problems with radio reception. Cost is $300 installed, but can get a cash discount. It's expensive I know but he has the best tint and installation. He will also file the edges so it looks like OEM finish right up to the edge of the window. Do a yellow page search
