look in your phone book and read the laws to see how dark you can go.

www.tintlaws.com I believe the link is. It shows all the percantages and what not for your state. And like Yanki01 said, look in your phonebook for local companies that do car work.

Don't go cheap. A decent job should be $150-ish. I paid more than that, but I also got the windshield and sunroofs in addition to the normal windows.

It's $175 at the one decent shop around me. But you won't know until you call around your area.

I got them done. Depending on how dark you go with the windows, you might find that your windows actually look darker than the sunroofs from the inside. I added something like 35% to the sunroofs to match with the 18% on the sides.

holy crap....I have 5% tint on all my windows and a 6 inch 5% strip on my windsheild. I got 1 ticket for it and it was $54. But to answer your questions about tints just go by what the laws say and ask a couple people you know that have tints to see where a good place to go.
