Window Tinting

I could use some recommendations for window tinting. I'm thinking of getting tints as my bday present to myself and I'm willing to pay any amount as long as I'm going to a really nice place with great overall results.

I have 20/35 on mine...check my pictures out.

Its dark enough to do the job. Looks clean and tasteful and because of the tapered tint on the front windows I don't get hassled by the police...I just got a ticket last week for speeding...didn't say a word about the windows.

Me personally...anything over 20 is ghetto. Too dark.
