Werd!! I did my car at California Tint too. Good price, and good service. I came kinda late in the day and they stayed after to finish my car.

If I remember correct, you're somewhere in Hollywood, so Rosemead or Alhambra would be kind of far. There is one shop, on Van Nuys Blvd, right off the 101 Fwy that does great tinting job. If you take 101 North, drive about 6 miles, exit on Van Nuys Blvd south - the shop will be right after the 101 bridge on the left side. I can get an exact address and name if you are interested. I did there all my cars, and all my friends went there. The shop has lots of exotic and expensive cars coming every day. And the prices are very reasonable.

Yes I'm right below the Hollywood Hills. I'm interested if they are in the same pricing neighborhood for $100 - $120 for 5 window tint. Please let me know!

I would recommend California Tint, Peter as well... they do a ton of Lexus cars... I saw higher end cars there too... if they can trust them to do the cars, I can trust them with my IS. Price is reasonable too.
Just don't go to WTS, overpriced, charging 200+ for tint and they are pretty jerky unless you're Hispanic... at least that's the impression I got from them the 2 times I went with friends to get their cars done.

wait doesnt it depend on the quality of tint also? I recommend Song's Tint Masters because they are straight forward and really did a great job. I paid $200+, but i suspect it's because I got good tints with lifetime warranty from Madico. I dont want any metal material that will interfere with my Nav. Ceramic was my top choice, but Huber Optik Ceramics run $450+.

Not sure about price for 5 windows. I alwas tint 3 rear ones with limo dark. And the price was $120 for 3. So, all 5 will probably run around $170.

I think you mean 3 window tint is back window and rear passenger windows? It's actually considered 5 window because of those 2 little rear windows which don't open. 7 window everything but the front windshield.
If I'm correct on my assumption, $120 for 5 window tint is not bad and what is the name of the shop I'll probably check them out?
