Of the many cars that have come and go in our garage, we've always used "Tint World" in Boca Raton. Tint World has a few South Florida locations, all owned by the same guy. Never had a problem, good workmanship, fair price, lifetime warranty. They laser cut the tint for perfect fit. On the S2000, they had to hand cut the rear glass and did a great job. Hope this helps.

I had mine done at JR Electronics. It's on 95th Avenue and 40th Street in Miami. It was $100 and lifetime warranty. They did it right the first time.

Yo Chinny, wuts up man i thought you were gonna get your car in black, but the red doesnt look bad. Newayz man go to Smart Sounds on 137th Ave and 160th, over there past country walk. I think they charge like $80. You can usually talk these guys into lower rpices if you tell them your planning on comin back for other jobs (audio or alarm). Everything that's been done to my car has been done by them and I have no complaints.

That's a great price. I think I may check them out myself next time I ride to South Florida. I had mine done in Virginia when I was in school and they did a horrible job on my SC. I've already had to go back twice for my front windows cuz they'll peel 2-3 weeks after they redo them. I was considering just stripping down all of it and having the entire thing redone.

almost any of these places will tint windshields, you just have to pay "under the counter", because technically its illegal for them to do so. if you can find a place that is willing to tint darker than what is legal on your other windows, chances are they wont mind tinting something else illegally
