Auto Addictions in Macungie did a great job with mine. It has lasted perfectly for 10 years. Check out my cardomain site for pics.

Im thinking about getting my windows tinted at auto addictions too... I just put in a PM to John (87350iroc) to get more feedback on them, but what about these other places you guys are mentioning...hows their work. I know that auto addictions is like supposedly the premier place in the lehigh valley...unless there is another shop i dont know about...

As stated above I took my '90 Camaro to Made in the Shade (now known as Xtreme Liners and Window Tinting) and just a week ago took my '00 Firehawk there to get the windows done. They did an awesome job as I had mentioned before. The place has changed hands I believe, and I was afraid that the work might have degraded, but definitely not so. I got 13% on the rear window and 32% on the sides, looks awesome.

If you would like their number PM me and I'll hook you up.

Xtreme Electronics here in lebanon has a guy come down once a month and they spend an entire weekend tinting cars. I'm not sure if they still do that since its been several months since i've been in there but i've seen the guys work on a bunch of different rides, real nice and professional.

Might be a tad from some of the southern Pa regions, but in WilkesBarre, there is a place called the Tint Shoppe. They do fantastic work.
