And to test it out further, see what's their take on the OEM tints on the back. That's your indicator as it's ~20% shade.

When you say OEM tints on the back, do you mean door windows or sunroof?
I'm not going for a dark look or a front/rear window match.
I just want the max heat rejection without going too dark (my night vision isn't great).
So far I plan to do the following (similar to past 4 cars)
FormulaOne Pinnacle 50% on all side and rear/trunk windows.
FormulaOne Air 80% on windshield.
FormulaOne Pinnacle 5% (may change) on both sunroofs.
We don't have many reputable tint shops near us. The one I've been going to for the past 10 years has a good reputation and does a good job. This will be my 6th vehicle that I'm taking to them.
They do mostly FormulaOne (they are a select shop) but also do Huper Optik as well. I had Huper Optik installed on one vehicle and had issues with it getting blurry after a few years and had to get it replaced. I didn't notice too much difference in heat rejection between huper optik and formulaone ceramic tints. |
I meant the doors to test out the shade and if it's ok with your family.
You seem to be on the right track with the film, llumar is a well known film making company. I wouldn't do Huper Optik, it's simply over rated and over priced.
As for the shades and matching that's a personal preference.
Don't forget to share the end product pictures once it's completed.
Good luck
