I have the LLumar platinum plus 35 front and 18 for the small window and back... I think that looks and hold perfectly... (my car is daily driven and spend usually the whole afternoon under the sun)

Robert.. you have seen mine. looks really dark but it's legal.. and I like that doesn't change the outside colors.. it's just darker.

Just got finished at Infinity Tint off of 1960 & 45. They did a good and quick install for $70. That included stripping the front doors and installing the new tint. Went with the Llumar 30%. Nice tint but not a fan of the percentage at all. But this is not due to Infinity Tint or the Llumar tint. I can thank my non-repersenting Repersentive(s) in office passing a tax like tint laws and other road/vehicle laws/taxes. / End rant.

that sucks

i had my windows tinted like 2 years ago. I got it tinted by some mexican guy on long point and bingle area. I paid $80. I think he said the film brand was madico or something like that, but whatever it was it sure is holding up very nicely. The only problem is that last month when I got my inspection, my inspector just randomly checked my tinted windows and told me that i have 12%, and I was shocked b/c all this time I thought i had 20%. I wasn't gonna remove the tint unless an actual judge ordered me to do so. So my friend knows an inspector who isn't so "strict" and I just went to him.
