Window tinting??

Ive always had my car windows tinted regardless of a $1k car higher.....I just love the look, my 2017 GS has no tints on it, from the research Ive done seems like 3M Crystalline seems to be one of the best ceramic films! can anyone share what they have used or gotten? thanks in advance

I used carbon from SUNTEK and didn't have any issues. Used 20% on back and 35% on front roll downs.

I went with Xpel Prime XR Plus on my car. Couldn’t be happier.

Love my 3M Crystalline. Only thing is with a vert that I would have done legal instead on on shade darker. With the smaller amount of windows I never need to wear sunglasses.

I went with 15% all around. I have a transparent top so it lets some light in. Basically depends on the angle how dark it looks.

My car is tinted, but you'd never know. I got 70% ceramic tint on all the windows (including hatch and windshield), I did it for heat rejection, and its been mostly successful.

How does that work for you at night? Mine is black on black with black wheels. I want the widows to complete the look. But not to the extent I have a hard time seeing at night.

What "percent" is that? OMG it looks good. I'm not one for white cars. But that. That looks like it's in third gear just sitting still. You see OK at night?

I am so curious how. I had a very dark tint like that once. NFW can I see well enough to be comfortable. Sun sets and I have to drive with the windows down. Was going to have it all removed but sold the C4 so that is somebody else's problem. I always drive with heated or cooled air and never with open windows so I generally hated it.
