Hi Patti, I had my windows tinted about two years ago in a shop in Oceanside, CA, for about $300. They did a fine job. I can't recall the name of the shop! I posted details here. Can someone remind me of the google search syntax (keywords site:www.somethingsomething.something) needed to search the archives? I'll try to track down the info. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
