tint question I've been searching on my phone (horribly I might add) to find some info on a good tint shop in northern IL. I live in wicsonsin on the border. But I've been looking into umbros in schaumberg. Anyone got any reviews on the place? Seems legit. Told me its not strip tinted and such. Any input would be nice. Also told me $250. That sound decent or what?

Really I am lookin for a legitimate shop to go to in between the milwaukee chicago area. but it seems like theres just not many. guy tonight told me to go to http://www.superiorwindowtinting.net/ he was tellin me they did it an hour and gave it back to him, and hes had it for 3 years and its flawless etc etc. and he paid only 100 for all windows and as-1 line. i know barely anything about tint. so someone school me here. i drive a 2008 pontiac g8 gt btw.

I live probably about an hour north from the border of IL (I'm obviously in WI). If you feel like driving a bit, KLS Window Tint in Oconomowoc is where I got my tinting done. Keep in mind they will not go darker than 20% so if you are planning to go darker that would be a no go. I am very pleased with my tint from them though.

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Those are the Wisconsin Laws. No, they don't keep your car overnight, it only takes a couple of hours. The lady that tints the car has done it for like 15 years so she is really good.

Some cheap local shop told me they have to remove the window in order to tint it,
