I live by the Beverly Center and have tinted my last 5 or 6 cars - both front and rear lamps.

I've never had a problem. BUT - I only go slightly darker and not murdered. With my G35S sedan I had cut outs around the four rear lights - for a great effect.

On shrinkage - they only shrank a few mm - but after that one instance I had the tinter's put a little extra around and it was never an issue.

Also depends on the color of the car.

There are so many colors it's easy to customize.

Oh - I'm about to my Z roadster front and rear tinted - but again, very light. You have to find a good tinter as the contours of the lights can be tricky.

1 last thing - I would l never paint as its permanent. Should you get rear ended - you would want to pull the tint off the rears before an adjuster inspects it to avoid any issues. I speak from first hand experience.
