Please post where you guys got your tints and how much??
I know there's alwyas a ton of questions of local tint shops. Please post where and how much your tint costs.
I got mine done by Matt at TNT Tint in Alexandria, VA. He also spray painted the back dot matrix (I know some dont like that but I personally did) and did a great job. He also did my previous car with great success. My total came out to $250 with $160 for the the windows and $90 for the spray painting.

I dont have any pics of the actualy spray painting black strip. I think my installer recommended this because of even the slightest of bubbles that can be seen over that dot matrix. From the outside it looks great and from the inside, you just see a dark black strip on the top. I will try and get some pics but as far as outside pics, I got 35% all around which you can see in my sig if you'd like.
Sorry bro I dont have stock 18's but I do have some 17's if you want those

LA Tint in Alexandria. $200 if I remember correctly. I would suggest going darker than 28% if you have a willow interior. Mine is not near dark enough, I want to get it re-done... hhmmm.. good thing this thread was started.

You ever have any problems with your tints in VA? I'm 35% so I'm legal in Maryland but I work in Virginia and always worried about being pulled over. I also have a radar which I turn off in VA but with my clear turn signals and tint, they can hit me pretty good with fines possibly.

pratik - not during the day, it doesn't look dark at all. At night you can't see inside though. But I've never had problems with it. I don't have my front license plate on either, and have clears as well. I have excuses for all of them (besides the tint) though, so I'm running a fine line for now. I've actually had a few policemen stop right next to me with the windows up, glance over and not think anything of it. I really don't think its that big of deal here (at least my area).

Yeah good thing. My friends dont have any problems in Maryland with their tint dark tints either. I guess the thing that worries me is the radar just chillin by the rear view mirror there. If I am to be pulled over that'll definitely be seen. Ahh well. Just gotta watch my speeds on the Toll Road
