Everyone is talking a lot about the xx% of tint but what about brand/model/quality of the tint. Which brand/model is the best value with great quality?
My current installer I'm talking to wants to install 3M FX Premium but that seems to be middle of the road quality. Since I'm getting Suntek self healing PPF I'm thinking of also going with Suntek CXP™ - Non-Metal, Nano-Hybrid, Carbon Construction. Is this any good? LLumar? FormulaOne? 3M?

It was middle of the road tint from 3m. Good color, protection and opacity.
They have their crystalline line which is uber expensive and super good for heat. I got it done for $260 cash which was reasonable so ended up going with that. Not the super best but not bad @ all.

Thanks for everyone’s insight, guidance and photos! Went with the 42% film today. I’m not sure of the manufacturer, though; sorry. Looked perfect in the shop, but a little concerned I should’ve gone with the 50% film after I left. Raining a whole day, but some quick pictures below. Looked the job up and down and seems good! Just some haziness on the rear glass, which I hope to clean once the film is cured. Was recommended to the shop by two people and the owner and an assistant did the work in under 45 minutes. If anyone on Long Island needs a recommendation, feel free to PM me.

Thought both their ceramic and crystalline films are their top line films...?

For the black pearl emblems, I ordered them from the Sewell Lexus site. Make sure you sign up with the Club Lexus discount when you order. Here's the link for the IS 350:

Thanks Kwik! There's something about that blacked-out look
