Recommend me a tint shop

Yup, I need to get those 2 fronts to match my backs which I think are 5% so I am definitely going to have a great time with the cops. But whatever, anyone know a good place with a good price? I would go to the tint shop I went with my old car but for 5 windows it was 300-400 for it and I would like 100 or less for these two windows. San Jose area btw

Dr. Tint over at the Shell gas station on Capitol Expressway west of SR-87. Not that I have my windows tinted or anything.

Chippie is trying to tell you that it's ILLEGAL to have front window tints in California. Unless it's factory tint.

I think your reading comprehension skills need a little work. (Hint: Why would I possibly recommend a tint shop, hmmm...)

My badd chippie. I just assumed that since you are a chippie you would at least advise him about the laws in cali regarding front window tints. Not actually recommend him to a shop to have something done that's i guess ILLEGAL in CALI?
