tint shop?

I think it is about time for me to get tint or at least by next month, so I'm just wondering where is a good place to good I see a lot of little shops around, but not sure if they are any good. Im thinking of 20 on the rear sides and back window and doing the 70 on the front sides. Also i think it looks ugly if they have to cut out the tint for the third brake light, do you know any places that can cover it without removing the rear deck or how hard is it to remove the reak deck? thanks

Whittier Tint Shop (WTS) does a great job and they give you a lifetime warrenty on their work. As for the rear deck, I would take it out because if you dont the tint may come up short and your'll have a small section with no tint, or even worse, your tint may begin to peel which may come off easier were as with the deck over the tinted spot it may help from peeling and hold it in place if the deck is puched up against the window. .

good to be a chick well im not so looks like i might be out of luck that is really cheap and is becoming to sound worth the drive, but how hard is it to take out the rear deck and will it be safe to drive that far without it there, i mean should i take it completely out of my car?

straight razor blade, but use some wd40 or something around the edge, so you dont scratch the window
