Need tint shop recommendations in N. San Diego County or S. Orange County

Just purchased a '10 G37S Coupe two days ago and am looking to get the windows tinted. Anyone have any recommendations for a quality tint shop in North San Diego County or Southern Orange County? I found Tint Plus (Laguna) and Mr. Tint (Escondido & Vista) online. Both offer Formula1 ceramic tint but their prices were wildly different (quotes differed by $150). Anyone ever used either of these places? Or would you recommend a different brand of tint (Huper Optik, etc.)?

I went to Astro Eclipse in Placentia to get my Pinnacle F1. Got a pretty good price during President's day weekend a couple years back. I'd say stay away from HO...it's a good tint, but I'm not a fan of the slight greenish hue. I guess it depends what color your car is, but overall, I like the charcoal color of F1.

I've got a graphite shadow exterior and a graphite interior. I'm thinking of going with 15% on the rear and back side windows and 35% on the front side windows.

Thanks for the info re: Astro Eclipse. I gave them a call and their price was pretty good (only $20 more than one of the other shops thanks to a $25 promotion going on now).

Astro Eclipse

Late post, but for anybody who might read this thread later... I would also recommend Astro Eclipse in Placentia. I had my 2008 Amethyst Graphite G37 tinted there a few weeks ago and it looks great. I got 50%/35%/30%. I got the Pinnacle F1 tint, but they also have the less expensive Classic F1 if you have a tighter budget. Make sure you check their website for coupons, they will accept them even though the date is past expiration. Alyssa was extremely helpful.
