Any tint shop that you Bay Area members can recommend preferably in the East Bay or North Bay (like Contra Costa or Solano cty)... I have one in mind, but I'd like to see where you guys go.

I went to this shop in Richmond that charged me about $220 if I remember correctly. They have a lifetime warranty. These guys been in business for over 20 years. I highly recommend them. Plenty of my friends have also gone to that shop and have had no problems. PM me if you want further information. I forget the name of the shop.
