I had Umbra do mine. They were able to do the rear window (I have a C6) in one piece. Some tint shops closer to me said they were not sure they could do it so I looked around. Umbra told me it was not a problem. I am very happy with their work and would go to them again.

I've used Fire Guys Tinting out of Antioch for several Vettes. Joe is a stand up guy.

I used Umbra.
Back window is still perfect after like 8-10 years.

Thanks guys for the response!!! I ended up going to a place in Elmhurst, "Tints Unlimited". Tony is the guy. We talked the whole time he did the windows, real nice guy. Wound up being in the service at the same time, just not the same place. Nice clean shop and would absolutely recommend him. Again I appreciate the feed back and wish all a very happy Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year (covered all the bases).
