Its a must-have.. go for it..
I went with LLUMAR ATR 30% All-around (except windsheild) for $180 @ CarPretty, Phila.. It's a metallic tint and has lifetime waranty on color-fade probs. Also since its Metallic Tint you get nice reflection
Many claim for Metallic tint u get Radio interference, but since I bought the car I never played radio, so no biggy for me.

i agree that it is a must-have. it gives the car a new look once done. as my car is silver-gray, it has added a bit more of contrast compared to when my windows werent tinted. during the day one is sill able to see through the car, and at night one pretty much can barely see through the windows.

I am soo tempted to do very very light tint on front windsheild, so I dont see all those ugly white spots / dirt on front windshield... but I read that it may crack Windsheild during hot sun or something, so dropped the idea

It's illegal not to get a tint in California..... j/k
I always look for charcoal color. Any other color make the car looks cheezy.

Huper (I think its Huper) Optic Drei Tint--the best on Silver Gray. Gaze upon.
Why? Way less UV and way cooler. The Drei tint removes as much UV and heat as any even though it is not super dark.
