About 3 years ago I got the tint on my 05 Shinka done at Apex Restoration in Beaverton. (did a Clear bra at the same time) I have been very pleased with the results and would go back without question.
I'd post a link but looks like their website is currently down. Hopefully they are still there.

Another vote for Apex Restoration in Beaverton. Ask for John and tell him David from 8club sent you 
I'm not sure if they changed their name or the old site is down but this works.

Alexia's Auto Tint in Beaverton
One of the very best places for tint! I took my 8 to them from Vancouver, they've always been highly recommended by several people I know.

get non metallic tint if you want to use a radar detector.
you can also tint windshields now with an 85% material that blocks most of the UV rays and heat. I just got the 8 done and you don't even notice it's there. it'll be nice in summer too!

Nice, when did this change? Mind substantiating this? The RCW (46.37.430) still says tint only on the top 6" of the windshield, UV blocking film is okay on the whole windshield if it's clear (no percentage mentioned).

This thread is too hilarious. Metallic tints don't really interfere with radar detectors that have no rear antenna. With that said, there are ceramic tints that you can get which have the same heat rejection performance as metallic without the antenna interference to radar detectors or GPS.
