Good place for Window Tinting in SoCal/LA area?

Looking for a good place to tint my F55. Never tinted my car windows before so looking for some recommendation on where to go and cost. Main reasons for tinting is to block UV and reduce interior heat. From what I’ve read it seems ceramic tint is the way to go?

Any recommendations and advice would be really appreciated. Also how much should I expect to pay in the LA area? Thanks for any help!

Conejo Window Tint & Detail, $395 because I went ceramic with infrared protection. Amazing level of heat resistance. I’ll take some pics and post tomorrow. 35% is about right. Does the job, looks good, won’t attract law enforcement.

Cheers!
