The hardest part for me was to determine just what percentage to go. I opted for 30% CTX. I can definitely tell a huge difference in glare reduction.

Looks good!

I know it varies, but care to share cost?

I went with 35% in front and 20% in the rear. I had a chance to see a few C7's before deciding what I would like the most.

Deceptive picture...
Inside at an angle that gives it a darker appearance than it really is. Kingspokes is a true representation of what 35% looks like.


Mine is 5% all around with 70% on windshield.. No one can see in. My interior will not get sun blasted... Oh and no glare.. lol

You can barely tell it's there, But it does knock the sun off the dash.
