Did you ask you local dealer? Many have people that will do it on site, and they will warranty it.

I will post pics soon.

Try Alexia's Auto Appearance in Beaverton, it used to be on Canyon Rd near Shilo Inn but I think they relocated.
I've done 3 cars from them and very pleased with results and offers life time warranty.

thanks for the info. everyone I spoke to always referred to Alexia's which confirms it that it should be good.

The only thing I am considering is the tint % and the brand of the tint (metallized or not etc)...

I had my back window re-done by them and I'm happy. I have noticed that you can see what looks like orange peel on some of thier tint jobs though. I have noticed it on my friends Mazdas as well as another friends Honda, my back windows isn't entirely clear either but you need to get close to notice. They are right on Canyon right after the Acura dealer if coming from Portland or right before you start down the hill if headed from Beaverton.

hmm...did you say that there's still orange peel on your car's tint? this is another reason I haven't tinted the windows because I am quite a perfectionist and I am afraid of the tint peeling.

Yeah, the back window has a little bit of what I would call orange peel but it's hard to explain and see. It looks like there is a film trapped between the tint and the window and that is what I noticed on three other cars that got the tint done there. It doesn't effect the visibility at all but if you look closely at it you can see it. They have 35% and 18% as well instead of 20% like other places. Not sure why that is.

Here is a sample of thier work. I asked for 20% but it looks a little lighter than that so I don't know exactly what % they used. It could just be the pic.
