The site is great with lots of info and I'd like to confirm some ideas I've gotten.
I'm looking for tint for a 2005 Lexus LS430 with black exterior and saddle interior (darker tan).
I'm looking for good heat reduction and am willing to pay up to about $500 to get the good stuff.
I live in South Carolina and want to stay legal so I'm limited to 27%.
I also plan on keeping the car for a very long time (more than 10 years) since it currently has only 13,500 miles.
I also would like to stay away from the greenish tints.
I'm 58 so I'm somewhat concerned about going real dark and still being able to see clearly, but I do have a camera in reverse.
I also have the electronic gadgets including GPS and a smart key.
I first was looking at 3M Crystalline in light shades but found on this site that 3M is a known brand name but is generally thought of as inferior on this site.
I've since drifted to the 30-40% ceramic films from other manufacturers.
Some I've looked at are Huper Optik Ceramic and Formula 1 Pinnacle.
It looks like Huper has better TSER but apparently has a greenish tint compared to Pinnacle, and I think Huper is more expensive.
Huper is also 100 miles away, but my son lives there so it wouldn't be too inconvenient.
Pinnacle is done by a local shop.
LLumar ATX (Axcess) also looks decent.
Any suggestions or recommendations for other films would be greatly appreciated.
Also will I lose much visibilty or add intallation issues going 30% vs. 35 or 40?
