Hands down: http://www.automalltintfactory.com/
I had mine done a few weeks ago and love the job they did! They were recommended to me by a couple other NAMers. Definitely worth the drive to Fremont. $165 for the back 3 windows (SunTek HP film).

Well, if you want a drive or are coming up my way, Just Tint's in Citrus Heights (aprox 15miles northeast of Sacramento) does all 5 windows for $150 (with the GCM club discount).

Just Tints
7711 Sunrise Blvd
Citrus Heights, CA 95610
(916) 838-8468
Speak with Emil

I know it's a bit of a drive, but they do a great job. Plus if you plan on coming up for any events or anything you could try and arrange it for that time! Hope this helps!

Another vote for Automalltintfactory.com :

They install Huper brand Ceramic tint, which is known to work much better with vehicles that have their radio antennae in the windows (looks like defroster lines), like MINIs that have Navigation, and most BMWs.

Their installations are top-notch, hands down.

Wish I could, but I haven't snapped any pics since I got the tint done. And the rain's rollin' in so it won't happen this weekend either.

If you come out to Nikki Run #5 on Feb. 26th you'll be able to see mine (15%) and SCMCS's (10% aka limo black) in person - both done by Automalltintfactory.com. There will probably be other tint jobs there too as we usually get 8-15 cars to show up.

I'll also be at Nikki Run #5 with, a more conservative, 35% on all three rear windows.
