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

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.

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.
