Umbra window tinting in Schaumburg does a good job. Speak to Nino. Mention Martin with the black evo X! He'll cut ya a good deal. He does great work.

That might be good since I'll be picking up my new evo x from schaumburg. I'm not really interested in something with a lifetime guarantee since I'll be moving out of Chicago mid June.

The above looks accurate. Going rate is $240-260. I've had a couple cars done so he cut me a deal.

When he quotes you, you can haggle a little bit. Offer cash and it might be lower too. But I trust him and he does great work.

The $500 for the 3M is to clear bra the car.
