Thought about tinting my windows, but I would't like the interior being dark all the time and eventually the tinting will start de-laminating at some point in time, no matter how good the material or installer. Just my opinion.

I have been reluctant to bring my C6 to get tint. I still have not found any shop that will make any effort to get the tint to stick and look good on the dot matrix part of the glass.

20% all around and love it. ^ is right that the 'dot matrix' part of the glass isn't fantastic but that's a 5 footer issue & really only if you're paying attention. Past that you really can't tell.
The tint looks great on the Cyber Gray w/ the clear top.
IMO go with the best product they have. Don't cheapen out if you plan on keeping it more than a few years. And then use proper products for keeping it clean.

I would not hesitate to do it again! I took mine one shade above legal. I like it a lot. Like was posted, it looks great on Cyber Grey Metallic. No need to go limo tint anyway. You will be fine. I had some concerns around the top of the back window, and it looked like it had bubbles at first, but the sun took them out just like the installer said it would. It is not 100% perfect, but unless you know it's there or you totally **** retentive, you will be happy with it.
NOTE: I edited because I noticed that my profile pic was before tint. I can't tell you how much better it looks now. I spend some time in Phoenix in the summer, and it makes a HUGE difference.
