Like your new name Johnfather. 
I have 2 leads for you on the window tinting.
I do know the hand car wash place on North Ave. near you, DIRECTLY west of Tom's steak house (the 2 buildings are connected) also offer window tinting so that is a strong lead for you also. I believe its called Windy City Carwash and I am pretty certain you know which place I am talking about, that is where I get my vette hand washed and waxed (once a year).
Also,
I know the Autoshowcase in Carol Stream, where I bought my Hemi Challenger SRT8, does window tinting and I am pretty certain they will work on other cars that are not being sold through their business. Its worth a phone call buddy, b/c if they can do it I would feel fairly confident they will do a good job.

I have a guy Johnny, he does it out of his garage on the weekends. He's been tinting for over 30 years. Let me know if you want me to get you a quote. He's tinted all my cars and tints dealer cars and houses during the week.
