Word of warning, check to see if the company is experienced with the matrix dot areas.

Might want to try out:

Accutint
http://www.accutintseattle.com

Frank's Window Tinting:
http://www.frankswindowtinting.com

SRP
http://www.solar-reflections.com/solar-reflections.html

Last resort:

Tech Auto Sound
http://www.techautosound.net/main.htm

I used Tech Auto Sound for my 20% tints, and they did not do a good job on the matrix areas, but the price was lower than the rest. I guess you get what you pay for

whereever you go, make sure you ask how they handle the dot matrix and if they guarantee it will stick, if they don't go elsewhere

What is dot matrix?
It's the lining around the window and the larger area on top of the rear window. If an inexperienced shop were to install tints, the dot matrix area may look like this:
