Window tinting in Chicago

Anyone know of any good, reputable window tinting shops in the Chicago area (preferably NW suburbs)?? What should I expect to pay to have the sides and the back window medium tinted (still legal though)?

Thanks!

I had both of my cars done at Midco Tinting. Not where you're looking for though, kiddie corner from Midway.

I have had many compliments on my Volvo and some compliments today on the Max.

You might be looking at about $200 for all 7 windows (don't forget the 2 little guys on the rear doors). Lifetime warranty, too.

In IL, it is ILLEGAL to have any grade of tint on the front door windows. So even the lightest could get you a ticket. I have 30% all around (even the fronts) and just keep my fingers crossed when I've been pulled over (just today, as a matter of fact, no tint issue, just for speeding).

If you're interested, PM me and I can get you the number.

I am going to ask the guy that owns a local body shop that I totally trust if he knows someone near by. I am interested in doing the 7 windows, but really don't want to do too much as I know the cops in Illinois can get obnoxious about tinting. Do you have a side view of your car with the tint? That way I can tell exactly what my car would look like with it. BTW...nice looking car!

This is the best pic I have of the side right now:

Here is a link to an easy to read state law listing on tint.

And this looks more like "official" documentation on tint laws.

Ziebart is good

I got mine done at Ziebart in Naperville. All windows for $250.00 with lifetime warranty. They did a real good job, have gotten a few compliments on the tint.
