Vince at Omega Tintwerks in Pleasanton, CA just tinted my Lakeshore Slate G35S a couple days ago. He did a great job and was a pleasure to deal with.
I went with 50% in the front sides, 35% in the rear sides and 20% in the rear windshield using Suntek Carbon tint. He also put 20% onto the sunroof, so I can leave my sunroof shade open all the time and not feel any heat on my head and arm. The carbon tint, like ceramics, has no interference with my electronics - cell phone, navigation, sat radio, radar detector.
CA DMV tint law allow only 70% in front sides and no limit in rear, but he'll put anything you want on the front window if you sign a waiver. 50% still has 99% UV protection and about 45% heat reduction, but is not so dark that a cop can't see the driver. If they can't see you, they're much more likely to pull you over just for the tint.

I was visiting Vince last Friday and he mentioned a G coming in this week to work on. He must of been talking about yours.![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

It's also an area of many earthquakes. Take a look at these threads about the quake centered in my town last week. Amazingly, nothing fell over in my home...
