I recommend " Hunters Hill Window Tinting " in North Ryde.
He did an excellent job tinting the two alpine windows on my 90. Much better job than the mob my dealer used for the rest of the car.
A mate of mine used to do tinting. Compound curves he did using a heat gun to soften the tint. Never saw him leave a gap or a visible join. Your expectations are NOT too high.

A bit of an update on this saga.
I finally got the car into the panel shop and they appear to have polished the scratch out of the door pillar, rather than respray. There are still a couple of faint traces of the scratch in the paint, which I can see because I know it was there, but no-one else would ever notice, so I'm happy enough with that.
However, having now let the tint fully cure and having lived with the car for a few weeks, including finally opening the windows, I've started finding scratches on numerous panes of glass throughout the car. Some I can feel with my fingernails, others I can't, so I'm not sure which scratches are in the tint film and which ones are in the glass. The worst are on the driver's door window at about shoulder height, definitely on the inside of the glass, but I think under the tint film. There are also a couple on the rear right-hand passenger window and long scratches along the tops of both left-hand side door windows, where they were hidden by the door frames. I can at least feel those, so hopefully they're in the film. The tint on the top edges of all the roll up windows are ragged, whereas they were imperceptible in my previous car. There also appear to be some scratches in the left-hand alpine window.
Bearing in mind my car was only a couple of weeks old when this tint job was done and is now approximately four months old, do you think I'd be unreasonable in writing back to these guys and asking that they pay for the replacement of damaged glass? I could have a pretty hard time proving that they caused them, but the condition of my car speaks for itself. I'm still waiting on accessories and an underseal, so it hasn't even been off road yet. I probably won't know how many panes of glass are actually damaged until I get someone to remove the tint, but it's so amateurish that a more competent professional might vouch for me.
