TL Navigation Tint Concerns

I am looking for a reputable shop to tint my 2006 Acura TL with Navigation. I have been reading this forum and those at acurazine trying to educate myself on the proper way to tint this vehicle. To be honest, there is so much information (some conflicting) that I am not sure if all of the "precautions" are absolutely necessary. With that said, I would rather be on the safe side and get it done "right" the first time. Any help with the following questions will be greatly appreciated!
1. The safe route seems to be with ceramic tint to avoid the possibility of interference with Navi or AM. True?
2. The safe route seems to be with felt or "moleskin" to avoid scratching the tint. True? Does this need to be done on all four roll-down windows?
3. The quarter glass on the back doors can be fully tinted. I am always nervous about people taking things apart on my vehicles, so can this be done correctly without removing the window?
4. The MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION! Can anyone recommend a good shop in Indianapolis, IN or within about 50 miles? I don't care to spend extra money or drive far for excellent tint from an excellent installer.
1. you don't HAVE to go with ceramic. there are plenty of non-metalized, color-stable films that can be used.
2. yes...felt the gaskets to avoid scratching. all four doors are felt-less so to avoid scratching on any of them you should do them all.
3. yes the quarters can be done properly without removing them.
4. nope
