Window Tinting Recommendation
Around SJ / Los Gatos?
Not for an S2000--how dark can I go on the driver/passenger windows without attracting too much attention from police? What's a good ratio of front to rear opacity?
Also, I DO NOT want the sheat to bubble up in a year or two--not looking for the cheapest deal....looking for quality work.

they do great work and have a wide variety of high quality tint films.
check out their website for photos of work they've done.
i'd say you could probably get away with 80% transmittable light tint in the front.

I went to Extreme Tint and Polish off of San Thomas near Central Expressway.
It was either $180 or $200 (i can't remember) to do my rear, rear quarters, and doors in my Prelude. I did Limo tint in the back three and the lowest tint (highest visibility) in the doors so I wouldn't get in trouble. They did a great job and were half the price of Mr. Tint or most other places I called around to.
Unfortunately less than a year later I got pulled over on 5 by some bitchy cop at 9a on my way to LA... she gave me a fix-it ticket for my windows and I had to have the door tint removed. Went back to the same place, it cost me $20
I considered tinting my S for about five minutes and than just realized that I'm top down in nice weather, and at night, frankly, I prefer having my rear window clear due to the already terrible blind spots.
I'll just invest the money in more sunglasses or something, haha
