completely off topic cuz its nowhere near Cerritos but DO NOT take your cars to "The Tint Pros" in Huntington Beach!!!
i took my car to them 2 days after i got it to have tint installed and when i got it back.....the drivers side mirror was scraped up down to to the primer!!! i was furious. i complained and told em the car was brand new when i brought it to em and they were responsible. they denied any involvement and would do nothing to resolve the problem. i left pissed off.
as i was driving away.....i made it two blocks and the rear view mirror fell off and was dangling by the wires!!! i had them tint the windshield and they had to remove the mirror to do so.
this is an example of craftsmanship of "The Tint Pros" work, their lack of responsibility for work done, and care of vehicles while in their shop!!!

Just an FYI, they use heat guns to apply their tint, including their ceramic line. Heat guns are usually fine for regular film but it could cause ghosting with ceramic film.

I think Peter charges like 25-30 per window or so extra..I'm sure a C/L member could help you out for lunch 
its not quite bad ..open up the sunroof and other windows that you aren't doing.. get a heat gun. (good quality trash bags) and some ammonia..Soak the tint in ammonia, then put teh bag over it and cut it around..Let it sit and wet the ammonia (repeat it like 2x) get a heat gun and heat the window (glass) from the other side) get a razor and peel off one end and continue working it. Should come off quite well. Since your IS is fairly new the rear glass should not kill the lines.

I got my previous cars (and plan to get my F) tinted at AstroEclipse in Brea. They do a top quality job and have been in business for 30+ years. They use FormulaOne tint...
