Almost every tint shop will do illegal tint, they just make you pay in cash so they dont have a paper trail leading to their shop..

I went to Cali Customs back in the summer..got my tint as I wanted. They said it was lifetime replacement warranty for cracking, peeling, fading, etc..a few weeks later it started to peel horribly and I took it back and the guy said "yeah its free replacement, but I am going to charge you for scraping." WTF. I didn't even want to bother arguing so I literally just got in my car and drove off. I tried Mothers window tint and tried to get them to do 20% and they wouldnt change their mind.

DarkhorseSS, I pm'd you for that info on your bro-in-law. I live on sw military also so that'll work. Anyone know any other places?
