I highly recommend "The Tint Pros" in Huntington Beach. They use Formula One tint and do a great job. 45 is too light IMHO. I went with 35 on the sides and 20 on the rear GLTY BTW it was 250.00

I get my cars tinted at Rich's Tint Shoppe in Walnut California. He charges $159 for Half Dye and Half Metal tint and $199 for Non-Metal tint ( For those that have NAV ) I've been going there since 98 never had a problem best tint shop in the area IMHO. His prices are on the high side but his jobs are awesome. 
Here are some pics of my tint its Non-Metal 5% tint.

Go to Platinum Motor Sport on Melrose Ave. They have the best film quality and they give a life time warranty on it. Anything happens to it durring the years they will fix it for you for free. The total package on the tint is $220. You can choose any percentage you want. I did 5% in the back and 20% in the front.
