I paid $180 for side windows and hardtop after a 10% discount. After six years, still no fading/peeling. Sometimes you get what you pay for. I think I used one of the LA Tint shops in NoVA(Sterling, iirc).

Tint Specialist in alexandria, they are located behind marlo furniture. I've used them a few times, and been very happy with the price and quality.
My friend had his CRV tint there and the rear window the paper was not cut smoothly at all. There was a lot of jagged edges around the thing that holds the window up and is defroster connector. The rest of the windows were okay.

I personally used tint shoppe in woodbridge for two of my cars and they did an excellent job. And the price was fair. My last car, I got tint from a guy in annandale. He came highly recommended from the G35 forum. He does it out of his garage but is professional and is cheaper than the shops around here. PM me if you want his contact.

I got mine done by a guy in Alexandria for $60 (2 x 20%). Looks flawless 3+ years later, plus he stands by his work (had to redo the driver's side cuz of stubborn bubbles). He works out of Martin Motorsports (BMW's) on Pickett IIRC. I still have his #, provided he hasn't changed it.
