Ebay. Lots of vendors selling 3M pro tints all the way down to complete black-out. Just make sure they state who the manufacturer of the tint is, some can be kind of shady.

We had ours done within a week of buying our JK...the wife asked them to match percentage of the rear which they did and it only cost $60. No air bubbles or hassle.

are you talking about tinting the plastic windows of the 1/2 doors?

I don't think you can apply tint to the plastic windows effectively.

Sorry don't know of any place that sells the after market tinted plastic that can be added. Our Trektop has tinted windows so we never had to think about it...good luck I'm sure someone will have the right answer for you!

Had my fronts tinted to match the rears. 20% is perfect IMO. Only cost me $60. Much better to drive on the sunny days. Seems cooler.
