Wish there would be a car meet around the woodfield area :/ because my HIDs just came in, along with yellow fogs, trunk spoiler, mesh grill, and im getting tints (still picking a place)...
wish i could afford rims and some coils but maybe in the future!

Just called Cesear and he quoted me $150 over the phone for tints and the brand he uses is Johnson Window Film.
Umbra in Schaumburg who came highly recommended from other enthusiasts charges $290 using Formula One/LLumar tint.

I want to do my windshield, got 20% all windows. I see Benz S550 class driving with sort of reflective stock windows, i know they got double-layered windows which are stock laminated, but i wonder what % can i possible go for to have such effect. I dont want to go dark( previously had 35% and 50% windshields on cars), now its a black car, it already drags attention, i want something with light reflection to keep the heat out, protect the leather and add very little privacy. I was suggested that 75% would cut it, can anyone support that or suggest something else??
TIA

This might be a dumb question but is Ceaser still at the Logan Car Wash? I am looking at getting tints on my 06 LS430. I have never seen his work before though. All of my previous tints were done at National WindowTint on Harlem and Armitage. I just am looking for a new place as there was certain qualities about the old shop that I did not like.

Tint in Chicago
Guys
Had my tint installed in 2006 at Logan Square Auto by Caesar, Last week the pass side door film rolled up and then I noticed the rear door windows interior coating was breaking down.. I called Caesar at 11am on Friday.. I was in the shop at 12... He replaced ALL the tint as advertised for free as the 3m has the lifetime guarantee. My LS has 152,000 and is driven daily so the windows get abused.. Cant say enough about Caesar and highly recommend him to all Lexus owners in Chitown.. it s worth the drive even e=after im moved up the the N/W suburbs.
