Absolutely tinted the small rear cabin window. Would look odd without it imo

Which tint that won't interfere with garage door openers? For my C7 I had to be almost right next to the door to open/close the garage door!!!

Which brands are the ones to get?

I am going to do the darkest possible, going to do the window between the engine and cabin too!

I did the two sides, rear cab and windshield. I like the look. Wouldn't have done it any other way.

Just to answer my own question, I called Valentine 1. They said if windshield film is ceramic, no impact to the V1 effectiveness. But if was metallic anti-glare film, it does block the V1 100 percent. So only use ceramic film.

Nope, did the side windows only at 20%, looks amazing!
