    So, I'm going to get my fronts matched to my rear as closely as possible to factory while remaining legal. I have a 3G, but my question isn't about levels. It's about material.

    The terminology this place I'm going to use (because my time is worth way more than the added cost of a pro to do it) doesn't quite match up with terminology I've seen online.

    I assume in my case the important thing to look for is IR heat rejection levels? There's three things that are important here - a factory-esque look, glare reduction, heat reduction.

    I've never had any problems with bubbles. Maybe on complex curves, that would be true. Most of the kits for sale are pre-shrunk. And buy a good quality ceramic tint, the cheap brands fade.....

    Nope. The 70% honestly looks clear except for once in a while you can see a hint of darkness. There’s tons of vehicles around here with limo tint all and around and the windshield dark too to the point you can’t even see the driver looking thru the windshield.
