Tint/PPF/Ceramic Coating recommendations - SoCal

Searching around for a reputable shop in Socal (OC) to get the job done on my 45e, but cannot decide which to work with. Wondering if anyone has recommendations? Thanks!

Best PPF/Tint shop in my opinion is Protective Film Solutions

It's bit far from me, given I'd have to leave the car there for a few days. Thanks anyway!

Have had 5 cars done @ CoatMyCar and they're always very reasonably priced and do good work - https://www.yelp.com/biz/coat-my-car-orange

What is everybody's experience with tint installation, do they usually remove door panels or no?

In most cases yes, depending on what is needed to get the job done. Either panel off, or enough to pop the door card to remove the sweeps, etc. Comes with the territory but I guess you need to be comfortable with your tinter removing your door cards or even the simple face he's got a screw gun on your new ride.....
