Window tinting in the bay (rates and quality)

Looking for a legit window tinting place, my price range is under $200. I just want to know how much people paid for their tint jobs and where. I am looking for a place in the bay, preferably near Fremont. I am currently considering a place called auto mall window tinting specialist, but I would like some assistance before I make my decision. Thanks!

Best Image in San Mateo was the place that did SCION's for $100. You can go there and try to ger that price but last time I sent someone there they said no more.

The new price should be $150, for 5 windows

all you guys who need tint should get together and have a mini-meet and head out to some tint shop. i bet they would be more then willing to hook everybody up with a discount since its multiple cars.

Pm "stylis" he hosts a tint days at his shops sometimes, but i think the price was about the same even with a group event.

Make sure it is the good stuff with a warrantee 3M is awesome! Some of the cheaper tint will fade after a few years and it costs a lot to have it pealed off and redone.
