I'd like to have my Westy's windows tinted.  Today I got 2 estimates.  One
was for $150, but I would have to remove the rear cabinet.  If I don't
remove the cabinet, he will only go about 1 ft beyond the cabinet
(ridiculous!) and he would only cover the part of the sliding windows that
he could reach from the inside, so about 1/2 inch of the sliders wouldn't be
covered.

The other estimate was for $200, and the guy said it would  be a lot of
work, but he didn't seem to have a plan as to how it would be done!

A few months ago, a guy estimated it sight unseen at $240.  In that same
shop,  the owner's 60-ish Westy was gutted and undergoing an "EXTREME"
remodeling like they do on "Pimp My Ride."  Seeing this, I would tend to
believe that he's capable of window-tinting a Westy, but not 100% convinced.

Is there anyone in the Southern California area who has had their WESTY
windows tinted, is pleased with the work, and can recommend the shop that
did it?  I live in the Los Angeles area, but wouldn't mind a little bit of a
"drive" to get the work done if I could count on it being done properly, and
the price is fair for the work done.

Thanks.
