I had HP up in Mundelein do mine. They have a guy come to their shop and do it. Did while I waited. I'm in Arlington Heights if you want to see it later this week.

Whoever you take it to, make sure they know how to work with the dot matrix on the upper rear window. I have to have mine redone because the place I took it to I guess hasn't tinted many vettes and i'm not going to let them try again.
