get huper optik tint. it is non-metalic, made of ceramic and will have to effect. it resists heat much better also. The price is more expensive but it is worth it. check thier website and call the regional sales/distribution for a location near you.

The lowest light transmission is 34% for huper optik. Despite the fact that they are great on blocking solar energy, I would prefer to have 20% look. Nevertheless, this is good stuffs for people who want lighter tint.

Your car looks really good with this dark window tint.
Just to re-cap, what type of tint was used, darkness (%), part no. if possible.
I want to tint me LS430 this weekend. Problem is that my local installers want $180 for the job. I cannot find any cheap shops to do the work. Oh well
