First of all thanks for all the feedback!

Ok, I guess the general opinion here is 35% or maybe 30% at most. There are two major players here in the Greenville, SC area for Tint. One carries Suntek brand film and the other is the Llumar made Formula One. I've used Formula One twice before and it was fine. I would like to try true ceramic and 30% but those brands don't make a true ceramic (according to my research) and they also go 5, 18-20, 35...no 30% offering. Here in SC I think the limit is 27% so a 30% would be great.

Does anyone happen to have experience getting tint done in this area?

What about true Ceramic Tints, are they worth the extra cost?

I have the Formula Pinnacle 15 ceramic on mine....and love it. The clarity is excellent, and the heat/ glare protection is great too.....and with a lifetime warranty, you can't beat it. Think I paid around $280 for mine.

Just for general information.....in future when you are responding to replies to your thread, DON'T start ANOTHER thread to thank everyone as it tends to clutter the forums!
