    The shop I go to ONLY uses 3M and they charge us 20 a window for everything except the front glass for Color Stable with warranty. The shop and owner have been there since my mom got her Camaro done in 1983.

    I just got 20% all around (20% over the factory 28% in the rear makes it about limo tint) and it is great. I did want 5% at first, but I wanted to keep some night visibility. Next week I go in to get the entire windshield done in 50%. Overall I really like how it turned out.

    I hated the back factory "tint". any light came in another window and it made it look like there was no tint at all

    I believe that is what they did my fronts at. Originally they didn't do the rears so I went back and had them do 20% on the rear, I like it and don't think it's to dark.

    All Titanium - 20% on 2 front and 50% on Windshield. left the others stock for now. for those that havent done it, windshield is a total game changer on your tint job. aids in the cooling and darkening process and almost completely reduces all glare. very addictive, will never have a vehicle without tined windshield

    i got the front tint on my wife's new suv a couple months ago and hate it. she likes it and it does help with heat. but it's halfway between needing sunglasses or not, and when i do wear mine it distorts the color noticeably. it also picks up scratches from her sun visor. but it does help with glare a bit. it's good for my wife, she's not into the details, but i am detail crazy and i can't hardly stand that front tint. i use good quality polarized glasses and they don't need any help, so I've found. I'm just talking about the front.
