I recommend going to a place that offers lifetime warranty that has been in business for a while; even if it costs you a bit more.
I have a place in southern CA that I've taken a few cars to, including the IS. They've been in business over 10 years and offer Johnson films with lifetime warranty. I've had the tint on the IS for 6 years now and it still looks like new.
I say this because tint removal is a pain and if it bubbles, fades or peels after 5 years, it's going to cost you a lot more to redo.
I had my old Nissan tinted by a 'discount' shop and they did a terrible job; residue everywhere and film started to warp (I'm 90% positive it was solar guard). They offered a lifetime warranty but went out of business a few years later... I had to remove the tint myself. Not fun.
