Default Window Tinting - Bay Area

Quick question to those residing in the bay area (Milpitas, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, MV, etc..), where did you get your windows tinted? how much? how many windows?

When my S4 comes in may/june, I want to get the windows tinted, I also want to get my '00 Rodeo's windows tinted aswell.

Thanks for the info in advance..

Default California Auto Tinting and Polishing in Campbell. They did my Mustang

Expensive, but they take the windows out and bake the tint on. First class work, I haven't had my S4 done yet though.

Default Yup, took out all the side windows, had to leave the rear since it was a convertible.

Amazing work, you can't even tell where the edges are.

Default They even do it in a type of "clean room". Very very expensive though...$450 for back three windows

Default Preferred Images in Redwood City. They also take windows out and bake on tint.

I only used them this one time, but they did a good job, warranty their work, and were nice guys. I don't remember how much, but not too expensive--around $250 for all windows. I'd go back there in the future (for my Allroad!)
