You might consider it a rip off price-wise but the performance specs are much better than older style films.

I think I'm gonna go with 10% on the back and side and haven't decided on the driver and passenger windows. Heat can be insane here in a Nawlins summer. Starting to go visit tint shops now as I wait for my car to arrive.

Ceramic Test

The shop that did mine (Alta Mare on Lemmon Ave in Dallas, TX) had a demonstration showcase.

They have a box that you stick your hand in with a button for a heat lamp above. The insert a peice of glass with different tints and shades between your hand and the lamp so you can feel the difference in heat.

It was very convincing.

I got 15% all around for $400. It took them less than an hour.

Hint: pay cash & save tax.

It's not always about how dark you go that determines how hot it gets. We ended up with the 60% Hüper Optik ceramic and you can hardly tell it has been tinted. When sitting in the car you can see the sun hitting your arm for hours and never feel the heat buring. Our summers in FL also get just a hair worse on the heat/UV index...
