Default Need recommendations for tinting... FLA

I'm looking to get all windows tinted, but not the clear roof panel. I live in Manatee county, which is about 40 minutes southwest of Tampa and 15 minutes north of Sarasota. Here are my questions:

1. Any installer recommendatoins? - nothing but the best - I will travel
2. Any problem areas the vette poses to an installer that I should pay attention to?
3. I'm not looking for the limo look, so what % tint should I go with?
4. Is the tint % the same for all the glass?
5. What $$ should I expect to pay.

All input is greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Tell me she doesn't need tinting badly!!

Sorry, don't know anyone in that area, but it's a great looking vette and will really look nice with a good tint. I'd say put the darkest legal tint on her. Post some pics after you get it done, ok?

With or without tint, she looks great. I'm trying to remember who's good in the area. I used to live there. It's been a while. If I can think of one I'll post it.
