Tint shops in Tampa?

Hey everyone-

I badly need to start in on the new G, and a tint is the first in line. Has anyone had a good experience with the shops local to the Tampa area and have some good recommendations?

How did they handle the dot matrix on the rear windows? Which films do they use... etc.

is it hard to remove window tint? I think I want to have the rear done in 20%. I dont want to layer it on and from what I have been told installers gets some pretty good coin for removal.

Letting it sit in the hot sun helps.

I would be careful when removing the rear tint...I heard you can also pull the defroster wires on your rear window...maybe a heat gun would help loosen the tint better.

Tint

I went to Audio Itch off Dale Mabry and didn't have a good experience. I had to go back because my passenger side tint started to peel within a week. They redid it with no problems but I won't go back.
