Conditions driven in since 01/26:
Dawn, high noon, dusk, night, full sun, partially cloudy, light rain, and dense fog.

Window film is: Llumar Air Blue80 ceramic
Recommend: Yes all the way around. Ceramic over dyed films alway. No other brand experience with ceramic films I stick to Llumar.

I've been side by side with sheriffs and police they don't seem bothered. I've passed them in oncoming traffic doesn't get a second look. It's light enough to just look like a high end glass. The only other thing I keep seeing is an increase in head turning ^_^ you can't help but notice it stands out in a sea of limo tint and clear glass.
Any interference with the auto wipers?

Thanks for the update.

Do you mind sharing what you paid for just the Llumar tint for the windshield?

$200 it would have been $150 if I did it at the same time as the others. I held off until I had a new windshield installed. Once I got the chipped window it was big enough to file a claim. Luckily the shop waived my $50 deductible... I called to make my appointment right after I filed my insurance claim. I think the other windows came out to like $350 which is still a great deal for the product I picked.

Side note... this is the worst thread jack I've ever seen and it's me who did it sorry op. Just didn't make sense to create a new thread.
