70% is a waste IMO. 35% all around and 20% on the rear is what i have. although i do have tan interior. for a black interior. 50% side windows and 20% on the rear window would probably be the ticket for you.
from here it looks completely dark
from here, a little lighter
and here, it looks like there is hardly any tint

I would go 35% or 15% black. because you're black on black any tint you get is going to look darker. Just my opinion. Black cars with black tint always look good.

Does anyone have Huper optik window film / tint installed?
I've gotta get my GS tinted this week... it's getting hotter in ATL every day. Anyway, did some surfing and there's a brand called Huper Optik that I never heard of...
Does anyone have any experience with it? Know of anyone who has it? Supposedly it blocks more heat causing light but visually the tint is not a dark as standard tint.
I basically want to know what colors it comes in, does it visually look better than standard tint? Price? Thanks guys...

Try a search on Huper Optik and FormulaOne (their Pinnacle series is ceramic)...lotta good info.
Some people have had issues with ghosting and bubbles on Huper Optik, stating that the film is a bit thicker than standard tint and a little harder to install correctly.
After my own research, I am leaning toward FormulaOne...seems to be a few less issues.

No problem...I have not gotten a quote yet, but $400 sounds about right from what I have heard. I will probably wait until I move back up to Atlanta in a couple of months and get it done up there though.

Youd be better off with Matico tint film. Former employees of Lumar left and started their own company its Matico wich is very good. Check my pics blk on blk 5% all around will post pics this weekend.
