What are the average prices now?
I remember back in 2014, PH Solar charged $199 cash for the rear 5 windows.
Yau Bong also charged $200 cash, but sounds like they closed shop a while back.

If you' in that area, I recommend Nixon @ Street Legal on Marine. He's done all my cars and a few people at my store.
He trains a lot of other tinters as well.

So I ended up going with Pedro at Strictly Autotint. He did a really good job. Nice guy, clean shop on Bridgeport.
I was surprised he was able to trace the film right up to the edge on the back door windows when I finally cracked it open to check the other day.
The last time I got tint on another car with Larry, he left a few mm untinted gap at the top.

Probably end up hearing the same as above posts. The 3 you have listed are the same three I considered.
They are all good so I’d say just choose the one most convenient for you.

I went with a guy off facebook based on some recommendations a couple years ago for tint cuz it was super cheap, he did a good job on my friends car but on mine there were some bubbles a few days later he said he'd come fix but he never did/ghosted me... and he showed up with a darker tint than I wanted for the back window since it's big and needs a wider roll... he didn't have the tint level I requested in the wide roll... I decided to still go through with it and still regret it to this day/want to get it redone.
TLDR: Wish I had gone with one of the above recommendations instead!

Street legal & Tint for sure. https://goo.gl/maps/S7XVXXSWKemS4fsq6
Nixon's a real car guy and just a overall fantastic human being. Ask him about his DTM collection he got stored in the back... glorious. I did my lexus for 280 bucks, he offered me a discount, i didnt even take it. Reward for such excellent work.
