Default Tint help in Tucson, AZ

Anyone in the Tucson area that has experience installing tint and would be willing to help a fellow TS'er out? Need to redo the tint on the front windows from where the previous owner scratched them, but my tint place won't go any darker than 35%. I want to install 15-20% and am thinking about buying one of the pre-cut kits off of ebay unless someone on here has a better idea.

The audio place on Craycroft near 22nd did mine. And he put 15% on the front windows. Just go in with cash, and tell him you dont need a receipt

Do you remember the name of the place or an address? How much did he charge for just the fronts?

I wouldn't mess with trying to diy - I've played around with tinting, and it is a true pain in the hiney. Just go to a shop and have it done right. I know quality bumper in Phoenix would do the two fronts for $70, and they do great work with great customer service. I hade them do my whole BMW, and two of the widows had bubbles when they were done. I took it back to them, and they had started carrying a better kind of film, so they redid my whole car for free!
