^ that I don't know...all i know is that I want to get ceramic so that it doesn't interfere with GPS navi. Huber optik also doesn't have 'darker' tints (it suits my needs, but some may like darker. And the thought of having ceramics on the window is cool

what % tint did you go with at N-motion? ...why switch??

...i'm looking for a shade of tint that I can still see out of but alittle harder to see in, kind of like some of the suv's.

you start to block out quite a bit of light at night at around 40
anything lower will be dark during the day too

btw kaydee, solargard ultra performance thats avail at N-Motion is said to be GPS/cellular/TPM/satellite friendly too

i think i might get my driverside and front passenger retinted
as long as it looks like factory glass, i dont see why cops would want to pick on me again

Ditto. I'd like to get the fronts tinted with clear film to help reduce the heat inside the cabin. Would the Ultra Performance 75 be a good tint? Has anyone had experience with it?

nobody?? =(.

I'm also debating between reflective and just regular tint. Reflective seems better for heat rejection but I don't know if I like the shiny-ness of it.
