Llumar ATR series 40% sides and back. (NC min is 35%, and no front allowed).
$240 installed. I am happy, and the ZHP also, as it is cooler inside now.
I was skeptical about the ATR series as it's a metallic film, that it might intefere with my defroster embedded FM antenna/reception, but no problems at all - everything works just like before, and I am glad I went with it - looks even better in person.
(what is that smudge? is it on my lens or sensor ???)

due to the angle on the last pic, it looks less dark, but other 2 pics show the normal look)
(The very top of back window glass has those teflon dots and the tint doesn't look 100% perfect dark there, but the place which did it said just bring it back if it doesn't look perfect after 3-5 days of "curing"/settling. It's not noticeable really, but they said they might take a tiny strip off if it doesn't lay 100% flat)

smudge means you have dust on the sensor. a bitch to get out..

Cool - so it's safe for the insides (tinted surface) too, right?
Marcus-SanDiego

Yes. I use it on both sides. I have Llumar tint.
Sprayway is ammonia free.

I'm a big fan of metallic tint. It looks killer in your AW. Lemme know if it affects your keyless entry. Mine seems to.

The tint looks great especially on the AW. No you'll no longer feel like you're in a fishbowl and the car stays cooler, double win! And, btw, the car looks impeccably clean. 2 x :thumbsup

looks great! the 35% on white has a great contrast making it look darker. So pretty

Very nice! It seems darker from the outside once it "sets".
Reminds me - I need to post pictures of the tint I just had done.

I was disappointed when I picked mine up from the tint shop, wasn't dark enough, but now I prefer that over too dark. Has a "luxury" look to it. Did you remove your "shark fin" or was that only for Assist/Bluetooth cars?

Now I really want some tint. A mildly reflective 40% would be just fine with me.
