any good places you can recommend to get window tinting done in chicagoland? there are way too many places and some of them seem sketchy but most you can't tell if they'll do a good job. any endorsements would be really great.

also, does it matter that the weather is pretty cold these days in terms of it affecting the tint attaching to the windows? wondering if it might be better to wait until spring or something. alright, thanks!!

I actually asked the same thing a while back and got a reply from KidKaz he said that he used Midwest Glass Tinters. They have a warranty on the windows as long as you own the car. I was quoted $205 for my coupe. I am getting it done in a couple weeks, as soon as I get some extra cash.

cool, thx for the info, but over $200 seems a bit high doesn't it? but then again, paying more would probably make me feel better than paying $90 or something and having it done in 10 minutes and coming off in 2 weeks or some s*** like that!

Yea, my friend. He used to be a pro back in Michigan.

Anyone who wants cheap good tints go through him.
He has an eclipse he did himself while driving, no joke. He has professional tools and it takes about 6hrs to complete. he did a lot fo cars here. He lives 5mins from me. We live in orland Park. I could show a pic of his car if you want me too, I'll send ti through AIM. InamineCarbonRod has seen his car so has torquen2k1 and BlueCivic2k1 here on the forums. Looks tight and cheap.

My friend can only do it on the weekends cuz he goes back to purdue on the weekends. My aim is SpoonSport12 if you want more info.
