I would pay more and get ceramic tint for your IS since other tints might interfere with your SmartAccess.

That's where I went to get my tinted. Needless to say, I'm never going there again. First of all, they were messy. Never bothered to clean up all their spills on the seats, consoles, dash, etc. I can already see some minor air pockets on the rear window and a couple areas on the sides. I may take it back since it's under lifetime warranty, just don't have time right now.

One of the guys working on the tint was smoking!!!!!!! RIght on top of my car!!! WTF is that? I'm not referring anyone there and I don't care how cheap they charge you either. That's no excust for a lousy tint and being that sloppy.

There is Mike's Tint Shop off the 91. But, my personal favorite shop is in Orange. It's right off the 55 and Chapman. It's called Classic Tint Shop.
