Default Window Tint. Help!
Alright, the lowest quote I've gotten so far for window tint, including removing the old film, is $220. Does anyone know of a place in the Corona-San Diego (SoCal) area that is cheaper and does a good job? Looking to get 5%.

i just paid 200 last week for just about the best window tint film you can buy.. it's not good to be cheap on your car.. spend your money ONCE is what i say..

I just noticed while replacing a window motor and door panels that my tints starting to come off. I'll need to do this soon too.
