I too have gotten the Huper Optik treatment from Al's on both my rides. I give them 2 
As I've stated before in another thread, Air Blue Windshield Heat Blocker is also available @ T&T. Not sure if Al's has it yet but I'm sure that they caught wind of it. I'm planning on getting it done as soon as my tax refunds come in.
It's Kinda pricey but to me, it's well worth it. It has the same heat blocking characteristics as the Huper Optik ceramic film, yet it won't get you in trouble for having a tinted windshield.

I just got my 08 STI tinted by keith at special T-Tinting near ward ave. He uses solar guard supreme and it was $180. There was a super light scratch on two of the tints and he replaced it with no hesitation when i brought it back. this is my second car with him.
I just got a quote from Al's last weekend and it costs $370 for ceramic on my wagon. They have this other tint called v-cool that works awesome but it comes at a price. I believe that it was $530 for the wagon. They did my friend's pathfinder and my GF's tsx and it came out nice, so it seems like their work is not bad at all.
I'd say go to AL's, I am good friends with Al and take all my cars to him. Well, at least while I was in Hawaii. He's always done quality work and I have never had a complaint.

They are pretty much the place I would send cars to.
I told you at work today. But yea if you wanna go down to check it out lemme know and I'll go with you and have my dad call them up.
Whew my bank account went into the negatives looking at that quote.
