One Stop Auto Detail in Rancho. Contact Killian Maynard, he works there and they do a great job.

Another vote for Eclipse- They did my car two years ago, and it still looks great! Other than the scratch I put in the back window. Go all the way, and get the LLumar metallic tint. It's worth it.

Metallic tint interferes with radar detectors, so be careful.

It also disrupts radar guns. It shoots the beam back at the officers car and gives them there speed.

Hence why I have a Belltronics RX75 remote mount radar detector with laser shifters waiting to be installed when I get back

Of course, the laser shifters won't be on when the car is in CA, since that is illegal...

No it doesn't.

Car Info: WRB Bugeye Sedan
I highly recommend Kidwell's Glass on Hazel/Winding Way (near Mikuni/Hwy50). They put limo-black tint on my bugeye about a year ago and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. They did a great job at a good price and let me know how to take care of the tint so it wouldn't fade/bubble. I don't know if they have the ceramic or metallic tints mentioned above.

My $.02.
