35% smoke tint... not sure of the manufacturer but the guy who is doing it works at a high end stereo shop on LI so I'm sure its good.

that actually sounds very cheap. I guess it depends on the quality of the tint.

Default he's good if he'll give U a lifetime warranty on the job..

.. that's what the places around here offer. Might as well find a place that does that, and also.. make sure they get good tint.

Default go for it but do your due dilligence first

Check out other people's cars he has done (including his own)

Find out the film he uses, if he uses a name brand semi metallic you are getting a deal
If it's something "new" or generric stay away, our cars are to expensive to have purple tint full of bubbles..
I would go with only a Sungard or LLumar film, note that they have cheaper lines as well it's worth the investment to get their high end stuff which is guaranteed for life not to fade
