Not sure I call it starburst, but it's normal to have defroster gridline effect at night w/tint.

You gotta ask your shop to be careful when removing the door panels. They broke all of mine. i had to get em replaced and it takes about 2 weeks to get em in fromjapan and about a day to reinstall.

Sorry to hear that. Obviously it's best to used an experienced shop. The ISx50 is a very common car and a good shop has already tinted many of these cars.

I have a major problem. My tint guy damaged the defroster and antenna on the glass. How do you repair this, replace the window? I am really bummed. FM reception sucks and the defroster only has five grids that still work.
