High grade ceramic tint = STM Solutions.
http://www.stmsolutionsinc.com
They are the few authorized shops to install Huper Optik

For regular dyed tint then you can always go
California Tinting in Rosemead, CA

I called STM and they sound great, except they don't computerize cut the film, they cut it old-school style on the window. Any opinions on that? I'm not too comfortable with the old school style film cutting.

Had Leo do my MB today and it looks fantastic. Any other OC/LA guys needed tint should definitely give him a try. I went with a 35% ceramic film and think it looks killer. Will get some pictures up once everything dry's thoroughly.

I have the regular stuff on my car. Very light tint Front 50% and Rear 35%
As soon as I open up my pano-roof, it becomes no tint (LAX friendly mode)

I wouldn't worried about STM guys messing up. Hann the owner is the trainer that Huper Optik sends to train other installers across the country. He was the winner in national tint-off championship. (yes there's a competition for tint installers)

You can check out the cars on their facebook page

Are yours ceramic? If not does it interfere with navi? Where did you get it done?

It's not ceramic.
I have basic Johnson film which doesn't block heat like Huper Optik can.

It doesn't interfere with navigation because the antenna is the fin on the roof.

i think it as around $250-$300 for all around. I'm very pleased with the work and it has held up very well.
