    No bubbling here. Most good tint shops will warranty their work against bubbling for the time you own your vehicle anyhow.

    I like 20% on the rear, 35% on the sides, and 50% on the entire windshield for daily drivers.

    My Cobra has 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. It's a bitch at night though.

    The sun is intense here at ~7K feet above sea level, so all our vehicles are tinted. IIRC, they've got ~35% which, when coupled with the factory "tint," puts them pretty close to Colorado's 27% legal limit.

    I've got Llumar CTX on mine and wouldn't ever go back to regular tint. After driving my girlfriends Altima tonight I could feel the difference even though she has a slightly darker tint. The Llumar is listed as blocking 99% of UV light and I fully believe it. The company I work for developed the process to make it. I went to a product demo they had with a bank of heat lamps and windows, one with the lightest tint they made and the other with no protection. In front of the untinted window, the heat from the lamps would run you off, standing in front of the tinted window was comfortable.

    I do.
    I spend a lot of time in my vehicles so I like knowing I have tint that blocks nearly all radiation from the sun. It was worth the money for sure.

    I love my tint! Never had it before, bought the truck in Phoenix (where it comes standard I learned, gotta have it there) drove it back to grey Western Washington. Wasn't sure if I'd keep it but now I wouldn't go without. So much cooler.
