Roger that, Dane - I'll take good care of you, man. E-me off-board with a "wish-list" and I'll start kicking some arse.

Ok, I have finally received the information about where Huber Optik is sold in Indiana. Here is the link http://suncontrolcenter.com/

I am not sure if they do automobile window tinting, I am waiting for information from them. Once I receive any info, I will let you all know.

I think tinting, in general, makes a big improvement in looks for a car ... no matter what the exterior color is! Although, in some cases, the effect may be more subtle, I suppose. I have 90% (limo tint) on rear windows and rear glass and 30% on front side glass. We needed them for my son's sensitivity to sunlight. These are the legal limits for California.

In hindsight, the rear glass became too dark for my wife when driving at night. I can see okay, but I would probably go for 70% next time. On my wife's Acura, we did the same 90% on the small rear side windows, 30% on front side glass, 50% on the rear glass and a 3" band across the top front windshield - still legal in California. This worked out well for her.

Here are some pictures of my car with tinting:
