Just got mine done today, not sure what film, but its 35% all around, except windshield just a strip on the top.
However I am a little concerned, I noticed that there appears to be bubbles in the back window, they said it will go away in a few days but I don't know...

Farpetrad nicely done on your F. It seems the back and the front looks the same. It also seems lighter. I have 20% all around and it looks way darker. Maybe my eyes is playing tricks on me. Lol. As far as the bubble go, it will go away. You should be fine as long as no air in them.

I'm planning to get the Formula 1 installed on Friday. Now I need to decide if I want to shell 2X the price for ceramic. Has anyone had any problems with regular (metallic-based) tint? Some posts in the 460 section referenced FM/AM reception problems.
Thx

3M ceramic tint.......absolutely no issues with peeling or anything after 1.5 years. And no interference with GPS, etc.
Also see if you can go somewhere that offers lifetime warranty. The shop I did it at, in case something goes wrong, I can go to any authorized 3M tint installer and get it fixed for free, forever.

Looks great! What a difference tint makes. Depending on the lighting conditions 35% can look more like 20%. 3M Crystalline has incredible heat rejection. There are some videos of it on YouTube. I'm thinking of getting it on my front windshield.

I got my 35% last Friday. Absolutely love it.
Ceramic Formula 1.
Apparently she had been tinted previously. Owner of the shop assumed that it was probably limo tint from the previous owner (I think it was a Florida car); so the dealer probably had it removed in order to make it easier to sell. An extra $40 and these guys did a great job of removing the old residue built up in the corners and around the brake light.
The white seats help it not look so dark for the cops here in VA. Especially with the sun roof open.
