Very happy with how it turned out. Cost was $150 total. Many cars done with installer.

Not only does tint look good it is a big difference in the interior temp also, just go to a quality installer

We hadthe 3m crystall put on all the glass of our sweet 16 including the windshield! OMG does it make a difference in how much heat is on the car!! There is a small issue with it reflecting a shadow of the heads up display but not a real issue considering how little florida sun heat builds up in the car!! And it looks great also ..
