I'm going to try to find out which Solar FX Ceramic he uses. I would guess fxtreme, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it their only ceramic in the shades I'm looking at?

[no ma'am]

I believe it's their only ceramic film. Let's see if @whitehog has any info for you if you need questions answered about the product. Good guys there @ solarfx

Hello everyone, and thank you for asking questions about our SolarFX Window Films. I will try to answer your questions as well as I can. Our FXtreme series window film is our only Nano-Ceramic window film we offer. That is a very nice looking Miata and would look awesome murdered out in 20% all around. But, since your in LA and want to stay legal your options are the 50% or possible the 45%. If your installer has the 45% I would ask him to put a small piece on your side window and meter to see if it would maintain the legal percentage. Either way you will love the performance of the FXtreme film on your car. I have the 40% on my front windows and love the look and heat blocking.

Thank you for asking questions about our films!

I'm thinking the 50% would be the better option. I have 45 fxtreme here if I get a car in I'll meter it but I think it'll be to dark to be legal. The 50 for sure would be fine. Maintaining visibility at night with 40% you'd definitely be ok. 

[coast2coasttinting]

Should be.  Films vary from company to company. But 45% should drop more then 5% once installed.

Here's the 45 fxtreme that metered perfect for you. If all these numbers match up. However your glass could be darker and it may fall below the 40% mark. 50 would be the safe bet but you may be ok with the 45.

   What he @jh812  said.    

 

I would make sure the VLT on the film is actually 45% or above.  Trying to hit the 40% mark with 78% green glass is gonna be kinda iffy with a 45% film

Definitely get it metered because I think LA doesn't have a tolerance, if they're anything like Leo's here 39% on a meter can get you a ticket
