Question Tint in Atlanta

So I picked up a 993 about six weeks ago, and due to the oppressive heat in Atlanta, the car's color (black), and its feeble AC, I'm interested in tinting the car in the next few weeks. I'm not a fan of the tinted "look" that is in favor with all the gangstas around town; I just want to keep the heat out, so I'm looking for someone in Atlanta who can apply relatively light or essentially clear if possible film. I also want to make sure the tint won't interfere with a Valentine One.

I already checked with TS sponsor Whitlock - as an aside, one of his guys detailed the car about a week ago, and it looked phenomenal (I was highly impressed) - and nothing jumped to mind for him.

Thanks.

Don't have a specific shop rec but go for ceramic like Huper Optik to keep out the heat and UV while not interfering with signals.

Thanks; I have a friend (he's also a TS member) who works at Jim Ellis. I live within walking distance of the shop you're talking about - I'll check with them.

Really appreciate the help.
