yeah don't do it yourself, i've heard it's a bit harder than you think. i got mine almost a year ago from TW Tint. superb! they work on mainly BMW's so i'd say it's somewhat reputable.

I highly recommend Tint Plus off of Lake Forest Dr in Laguna Hills Got my tint done there and also got a slight discount for being referred to them No loaner car, went on a weekday and it was done in less than 1hr, lifetime warranty thats transferable to another owner should I sell my car.

Mine was between $200-$250 :p

There was a statewide window tinting competiton a couple years back and the guy who currently works at Sun Tamers in Mission Viejo entered, he won first place. Nice to know someone who placed first is tinting my windows. My windows have 20% all around. It costed me $160, lifetime warranty.

just remember not to get the front too dark cause then you'll get pulled over.
