This guy is fantastic! He's done all my vehicles. He does custom window graphics, detailing and tinting. Great service, he insures that you get what you want and he makes sure you get a first-class job.

Oh yeah..it's a good idea to make an appointment if you decide to go to Tommy's. He's super busy. Check out the website. He's done some very nice high end vehicles.

No problem I don't want to go to dark anyways. It's tough enough to see out of a roadster as it is.

Nismoboy7269 is right. They do sit and watch. I've been lucky even though my tint isn't "exactly" legal. It's just not dark enough to really get their attention but it is darker than the legal limit on the rear hatch.

I'm taking my '95 ImpalaSS to Tommy's next week to remove the old tint and put new stuff in. There's just no where else I'd go to get it done now. And, he won't put an advertising sticker in one of the windows either.

Another Z owner recommended:

Alexia's Auto Tint in Beaverton

They do great work and I think mine was $175 for 38% Sun Gard all around. Comes with a warranty too.
